the reason I didn't buy the iphone is because I did my homework. (doesnt support flash, kind of a pain to use the virtual keys, the annoyance of itunes) the n810 does what I want, and more. I'm sure if the more experienced user are having trouble with jabber, I may have trouble too. the guy from thoughtfix said pidgin will be on the n810 once it's released. so I'm guessing everything should be fine. thanks guys, you rock.
