i found this thread doing a search for "tank" lol looking for a chared or scorched tank clone for os2008 on a nokia n800, wierd how you find things,

for my part im still learning the device, i brought it to replace a nokia e51 and a psp its doing the job nicely and though i have only had it 4 days im starting to find it very easy to use ( this forum has helped in that respect man you guys are a godsend) i love the little device despite the few problems i have left and have shown it off to most of my mates (by friday they shall all of seen it, numpty physics has persuaded one of my mates to buy one next pay day ! )

EVERYbody should have one of these little tablets

He did, and in the areas of functionality he named, the Nit does seem to be problematic. e.g. BT keyboard support involves some real annoyances, if people haven't been lying in their posts. It's also hard to award a "just works" sticker to an Internet browsing platform that messes up ebay and wordpress blogs. (Come to think of it, it messes up on this forum too, especially while trying to type replies.) And, yes, it completely fails to offer any security model for applications other than Nokia warning you that you're screwed if you run a bad 'un (which of course they only do once you bought the device.)

The Nit has a mixture of strengths and weaknesses that make it enticing but problematic as anything but a toy for early adopters. I'm glad I have mine, but I'd only give it a very cautious recommendation to non-techie friends.
