[SIZE="2"]I've been quietly following the Nokia tablets ever since I drooled over the first shots of the 770 as it was being prepped for release. I had a 770 for a short period of time, but I somehow bricked it and returned it to Fry's. Afterward, I wasn't able to get back into them until this past week, where I bought a mint condition N800 for $200. The person had received it as a gift, and he had used it for all of about thirty minutes.

I'm no stranger to such devices. My addictions are currently as follows. I'm just listing the ones I think are closer in utility to the N800.

• Sony Vaio UX380N
• AT&T Tilt (TyTn II)/8925
• Blackberry Curve
• iPhone (8GB)
• iPod Touch (16GB)
• Archos 605 Wifi (30GB)

I love all things gadget, tiny shiny and portable. I do get away from the screens, taking up road races and weight training to stay healthy. I enjoy a near-OCD hobby of music collection and organization. I dig shortwave radio and have always had a fascination with numbers stations.

I won't get too carried away with the intro. I do like long walks on the beach, candlelight dinner and romantic getaways.

At any rate, I'm glad to be a member, and I look forward to getting in on the discussions and activity.

If anyone's in the Atlanta area, a meetup would be cool.

Be good, all, and have a good shortened work week!
