I currently am looking at a (bigger and more expensive) HTC Shift to replace the IT debacle. I've used the IT (N800) for a year now and am as much dissatisfied with it as I was a year ago.

I'm guessing this is a hardware fault -- never seen this myself (on 770 or n800), and this is the first time I hear about something like it.

I suggest you send your device for repairs. At least around here (Finland) the service actually works now, as opposed to the 770 era.

HMMM..
I GOT MY N800 because it said on THE BOX "INTERNET TABLET" and it was $229 instead of 400 and up for a laptop or UMPC for a grand .

I assumed that the price reflected screen size, some apps, and better GUI than'windows anything'

I was wrong. period. and any of you 'senior members'
that wish to keep taking digs at newbies should stop to realize we are frustrated, need help and some babysitting yes, but above all, some hope to make the dam things useable.
I have had more crashing, reflashing, nonworking apps, frustration and more than ANY device i ever owned,
I 'm 55 and consider myself an early adopter. I always had to have the new stuff first but....i'll continue to lurk about on here.. keeping up with the love/hate affair with this IT until i either get it right or throw it in the junk drawer with my other stuff. probably the latter.

What exactly were you expecting from an 'Internet Tablet'? I.e. what does it not do that you expected it to?

Go to http://slashdot.org/
Note how the screen is divided into several vertical columns, and that the articles are in a narrow central column. This site is almost unreadable in landscape mode, while it would be perfect for portrait mode. These kinds of sites are unusable in 'optimized view' mode too. Only portrait will do..

I have to admit, the n800 is the worst cellphone I ever bought to use as a PDA.

Well, to all concerned, looks like WOM World picked up on this thread and posted about it, which is a good thing.

WOM World is Nokia's PR Firm for the Nseries, which means Nokia reads everything they write. Which means you have successfully gotten Nokia's attention.

If we really have their attention..:

Nokia: The by far most common single issue that comes up again and again and again ad infinitum when I read postings on any media everywhere is this: "if the Nokia tablets only had proper integrated PIM applications I would have bought one in an instant". I see this every day. If necessary I can easily provide links to a couple I read just an hour ago.

I don't think that'll happen. The Tablet series are not designed to be PDAs with PIM applications. They're Internet Tablets (hence the name). They're not PDAs, nor are they 'phone companions'.

I'm not saying whether that marketing standpoint is right or wrong, I'm just telling you why there isn't a built-in PIM function. It's not designed for that.
