Just returned from a trip to Alberta, eh ... and wanted to post of my experience with my N800 after all the help fellow forum members have provided. Skyped my kids for free, listened to my music with Rhapsody (didn't like xmss), and read a few books with fbreader. Installed Opera and came to enjoy many of its features. Battery life was adequate and the overall experience with my new-old friend was excellent. Thanks to all who have breathed new life into my N800 with your suggestions and enthusiasm!
