People said the same thing about Flash 9 as well.

I find it interesting that Nokia deemed in necessary to put the hardware on the n800, and then never really implemented it well. Sure n800 to n800 works fairly well, but I do not want to buy my wife an n800 so I can use it, and I don't know anyone else who owns one. I am a unix admin, and have supported windows also, I spent one day many months ago trying to make the n800 to PC work with no luck. I was able to compile and package window maker in the same amount of time.


It just seems it should not be that hard to make work. I see some people say they got n800 to PC working OK, thats more than I could do. I guess I should not be surprised from a company that takes 6 months to put out firmware that make the touchscreen actually work. It seems that they should have fixed that prior to release, but perhaps the QA people dropped the ball again, but I would guess it was a Nokia rushing this to market

That's probably a good reason why the beta was dropped.

Yes I noticed it when I posted the poll, and I wanted to make a change to the poll but I am unable to change the poll, as far as I can tell?

heh, the quality isn't bad, except that using a quickcam and CUseeME on a Mac Quadra 605 (16megs of ram!!!) on dial-up 13 years ago yielded better video, sound, and usability. But hey, it was a pretty good marketing scheme, it got me to buy an N800. Too bad the cam is worse than the cam on my 3 yr old nokia 6230b cell phone. And the n800 can't even record video? man...
