you're welcome!

basically, with an e-book reader, terminal and network tools, a solid case and a bluetooth keyboard, and some 1-gb cards (I don't like bigger cards - I can get 1gb for $3-5 and they fit a movie or 100s of books)the nokia n800 is a complete replacement for a laptop for me.

What i'm thinking of next is getting a cheap+portable tiny wireless router

that way I can go anywhere where there is an Ethernet connection (I do some computer related consulting gigs every now and then)
and stay current without using someone else's setup and risking compromising my security for email etc.

airsnort and kismet have proven somewhat unsatisfactory for me, but I'm still experimenting with them, so cannot give an honest appraisal.

my only gripes with Nokia tablets are similar to everyone else's-
1)poor usb support- the lack of power-over usb connection, lack of usb devices support without a hack,
2)lack of screen protection

Thus the added expenses of cases, wlan hubs and bluetooth keyboards.

One great thing about running gnu/linux on this thing is you can do remote backups by ssh into the nokia and downloading all your files, including apps.

That way if you want to flash your os to an upgrade but don't want to reinstall all the aps, you can just copy them back and save hours.

I'll make a howto if I don't find a decent one soon.

And if you're not running gnu/linux on your main computer, I would suggest installing a dual-boot debian distro, like ubuntu.
This really powers the usage of the nokia n800 up immensely, as it allows for faster upgrades, painless ssh/sshd/rsync integration, and is a great experience to boot.
The cheapest replacement for a bluetooth keyboard (cost- $0) is ssh into your nokia off your main computer.

type away!
