Hi everyone,

last week my Palm T5 died and I need a replacement urgently.

Given that a Palm TX at the moment cost as much as a N800 (at least here in Germany) and with a beta of a Garnet Emulator for the N800 already available evidently the N800 looks interesting...

What I need my PDA for is reading ebooks (txt, html, pdf), an offline wikipedia, playing mp3s and of course some PIM.

Important for me is a good battery life when used offline (without WiFi or BT, lowest brightness - I got about 6hrs of runtime out of my T5 and don't want to go below that).

Also I would need a good pdf-reader (something like RepliGo, i.e. both a full-page view with zoom and a text-only view).

I am quite Linux-savy and don't mind flashing new firmware versions and the like but I mainly want a reliable everyday device rather than a cool hack.

So could you please provide some feedback as to what extend a N800 would be suitable for me as a T5 replacement?

Many thanks!
