For what it is, I really can not imagine a better device which gives me so much utility!

There is a BBQ joint we went into this week-end and people who could answer a question would win a free dessert. The question was, "What was MacGyver's first name?" I fired up my tablet found a wiki and went to the counter. the young lady who was fetching us a dessert asked me how I knew, why Wikipedia of course. She was suprised given that they did not provide a wireless lan to jump on either. I love cell phones with bluetooth and access to high speed networks!

The n800 should have in large friendly letters, "Don't Panic" printed on the case. I find new uses for it all of the time.

Thanks for reading,
JJG

I have been drooling over the Nokia e90. I can still imagine carrying both devices. Currently, I carry a Nokia 9300 for my calendar and email from work, one voice phone and a BT EVDO phone as a modem for my laptop and N800. So if the 3G GSM based network improves here, I might make the switch and get rid of a phone or two...

But, I can imagine working on emails on the e90 etc while the n800 is playing a movie.

LOL, could have just sent an sms text message to google and gotten the answer back, but I doubt many people know about that service.
