I'm not a "youth" by any means, but my friends have been amazed at the N800. One even ordered one this weekend. The pre-installed Nokia N800 video blows them away. I heard, "How did you find this?" and "Is this like an iPhone?" comments. I check Bargain Jack every day and the Buy.com sale was listed there. Then, (Youtube) Thoughtfix, Pirillo and other videos showed me all I needed to know.

Many people simply don't want to be so available, connected or tethered. Hedgecore is spot on about its many uses. Even in my small town I'm finding plenty of hotspots to make this work. My local 'Pandemic' Bread has a nice cafe area outside and free wifi. And, the Nokia has not changed the way I use my regular computers or laptop. But, like Texrat, I always have it handy.

I do think the young (and young at heart) will figure out these devices first. I'll never forget being at a concert with a young guy in a band. While the group on stage was playing he was text messaging on his cell phone getting a gig for his band on the next Saturday.
