musing, as one does, waiting for a download, an odd thought came to me.

just to lighten up for a second, how should we pronounce the devices?

* 770
seven hundred seventy
seven seven oh
seven seven zero
tee-tee-oh (in "l33t" speak)

* N800
en eight hundred
en eight oh oh
en eight zero zero
N'BOO

* n810
en eight hundred ten
en eight one oh
en eight one zero
en eight ten
N'BIO (in "leet")


feel free to ignore the ramblings of someone who's been staring at perl regex for most of the day!

"my thingy"

No, really. In fact someone at the workplace got an 800 after seeing mine. I've gotten strange looks whenn asking if he has his thingy with him and beckoning in the direction of his pannts pocket.

Lol, I take my n800 frequently to school and on the car ride there i often play music from the amazing n800 speakers. So now most have my friends have gotten used to saying "Do you have your... thingy?" Some of them have actually resorted to saying computer.
