Well, whenever I pull out my N810, a lot of people ask me if it's a phone, and I Say no. Then I say it's like an iPod Touch. What's the best way to describe it?

This topic has been covered pretty extensively in the past and there was never really a good conclusion reached. It's different things to different people, so you're never gonna get a good answer, but I still like "really, really tiny laptop."

That's pretty much how I describe my N810 to people who come up and ask - "It's a computer I can carry in my pocket"

My daughter is quite clear on this. When she wants to know something, she says; "dad can look it up on his toy"
So in future, when someone says "what's that", the answer is, "it's my toy."

So, shouldn't you instead like "really, really tiny laptop that does a few things a normal laptop does, but not everything, stop whining about what's not there"?

Yes, we get that you, for whatever reason, feel like big, mean Nokia betrayed you. Get over it.

Yeah, I'm in agreement with a few of the previous laptop comments... I always say, "It's a computer." People's mouths usually drop open and they exclaim, "Really?! No way!" When I show them, it's all over.
