Unfair comparasion. Since you can't use a Bluetooth Headset on the N800 *at all*.

A) The Axim's wifi is NOT as good as the Nokia period. Broadcom driver or not. You start Wifi on the Axim (regardless of "powersave" mode) and you literally start the battery self destruct timer. "powersave" or "auto" also comes at the cost of transfer rate and signal strength on the Axim. You can leave the Nokia on for DAYS with wifi active and accessable.
B) Bluetooth headsets work fine in OS2008, I've been using one all week.
C) Battery life is probably the BIGGEST difference between the two. Put an Axim on with Wifi/BT and max brightness and you might as well start walking toward the wall socket, trust me. That's why they make monster 3rd party batteries with new doors for the Axims. God forbid you play some high end video that gets the CPU smoking, it better be a 90 minute comedy.
D) Other then ruggidness, SDHC is superior to CF in every way.
E) You will be purchasing a broswer replacement and Coreplayer within the first week.
F) You can have as much SWAP as you want in Maemo if you have any linux knowledge. Of course if you have that knowledge you also know that there is a practical limit to how useful it is to jack it up to 1GB.
Honestly when you pick "faults" of the n800 like wifi, battery life, bt headset, etc you're not going to convince anyone here.

>> You couldn't do anything productive with the N800, nor the x51v webbrowsers<<
Now that's just crazy talk!. N800 has become my default tool for Web browsing. In fact, I am currently lying on my sofa writing this reply (using the soft keyboard). I haven't touched my laptop for well over a week now!

Also, typing on some forums isn't productive.

Are you really that crazy? I know life is short, but who cares about 30 seconds vs. 5?! Maybe you, but I would like to live longer, thank you! BTW, I do all my banking on N800, not to mention online buying and selling (ebay, amaon, buy.com...). I read and write company emails. These are all "productive" activities in my book, but of course you might be from Mars...

What are you bragging about? I too have a laptop--no, actually two. I see it as a plus to have my N800 in my pocket (much like a Swiss army knife), not a minus.

I do OWN both an Axim x50v and a N800. I have used the Axim for years with WM2003se, WM5 and WM6. It will be gone after my ebay auction this weekend.

F) I'm off to the bar for happy hour, but the list could go on and on. The Axim is not a horrible piece of tech, or I wouldn't have bought it! But now that you've made your (IMO poor) choice then you might as well move on to Aximsite where there are tons WM Sheeple that want to hear this stuff. Honestly when you pick "faults" of the n800 like wifi, battery life, bt headset, etc you're not going to convince anyone here.
