I disagree.. I used the 770 for a while, and have found winmobile 6.1 to be wayyyy more user friendly and a lot easier to find apps for. Maemo is just too cumbersome to work with for most people.
I've since sold my nokia internet tablet, and use my HTC mogul phone (with full querty keyboard and wifi) all the time now. I use the skyfire and netfront browsers most of the time, GPS enabled google maps, and also have tomtom navigation software installed on the phone too.
there are literally thousands of free wm apps out there, and I've loaded my phone up with everything I could possible need on it. I also run a customized ROM built by people in the htc community that adds some features and runs faster than the sprint released ROM.
My phone hasn't crashed or frozen in months. something that was almost a daily occurrence with the nokia IT.
I love installing apps on this thing. no repositories, no dicking around with command line apps, just click on a .cab file and it installs.
The IT is a nice device, but requires a lot more patience and a time to get familiar with the workings of the OS in order to maximize its use. In the end, its still more limited than my HTC phone. I just can't understand why people seem to think maemo is better, other than their hate for M$.

Well I have since flashed my HTC Diamond 3 times with 3 different ROM's and the latest one I have kicks the hell out of the original ROM. The Diamond is about 5 times more responsive. The syncing is a snap and the phone quality is the best I've had since. Still no 3G Thought I have gotter a G on my phone if that means anything but I know a new Radio ROM is yet to come. All in all it's way better now but I'd NEVER get rid of my N800. My Nokia still rock and I still get way more memory then any phone to date.
Reaver.....
Reaver.....

why am I still here? because I'm still interested in these types of devices, but just not the current nokia ones.
This section of the forum is called "Competitors" the last time I checked, which is about competing products to the ITs. Or am I totally wrong, and is it only for people who swing off nokia's coat tails?
I had the 770, and wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. thought about the n800/n810, did lots of research on them, but was able to get something else with more functionality and usability for less money. If stating your opinion is trolling, than so be it. At least I backed up my opinion with reasons why I switched, instead of just stating "nokia sucks" like most other people do when WM is mentioned.
I had the 770 for months - updated it, modded it to dual boot, and installed apps on it. It wasn't necessarily a bad device, just limited, and sometimes unstable. Even if I upgraded to a 800 or 810, I'd still be faced with many of the same limitations. plus its another device I'd have to carry around with me. With the mogul I was able get an IT, PIM, GPS, and phone all together in one smaller package that works pretty well.
I wanted to like the nokia ITs, but right now, they just fall a bit short. But who knows, maybe I'll own another nokia product when its time to replace the mogul.

The HTC mogul looks nice, it has a comparable processor to the N8x0 and everything, but it has a tiny display, and it runs <spit!> Windows Mobile. I would say that it has "different" functionality to the tablets, not "more". And maybe I was looking in the wrong places, but it sure doesn't seem like "less money" than the tablets. It is very similarly priced to the N810, after you sign up for a multi-year contract... I wanted to like it, but it seems to fall a bit short.

I got the mogul for $200 with the contract. the 810 was considerably more at the time, and doesn't include the GPS function, which was extra (last time I checked anyway). I got on the sprint sero plan which includes 500 minutes + free nights and weekends + UNLIMITED text and UNLIMITED data, for $30 a month total. So, at that price, it was cheaper than my regular phone plan with ATT, so it was really a no brainer for me. I believe they just revised their qualifications for the sero plan, so its harder to get now, but they still have some pretty good "all-inclusive" type plans. Since the phone isn't limited to wifi (EVDO rev. A), I am able to use it much more often than the IT, since I didn't a data plan on my old phone.
and yes, the nokia IT's screen kicks *** and is way better than the smaller one I get on the mogul. That's one thing I do miss, but its a trade off I had to make for the extra portability of the mogul, and having everything on one device.
I'm still watching the IT/MID market develop (nokia was pretty much the first in this arena), and will probably pick up some sort of mini-laptop device sometime in the future, for when I need something more PC-like for traveling.
