Thanks
Of course, N800 (and 770) is not a PDA, but a mini-laptop computer. You can do whatever you like (and can) with it.
Nevertheless, if you only want to browse the internet and run some Java and Python applications, I'll tell you that Nokia phone N80 is able to do that and more (with an Opera browser that gives you full access to almost all webpages), and you combine a mini-computer and a 3G phone. But, of course, it hasn't got Linux inside, and that may be a handicup...

Someone will give you the definite answers for the MSN thing (that's messenger, right? You'll probably have to settle for the built-in Google Talk I suspect), and I don't know what jacking/snarfing is.. but if your K800i is on, with BT enabled and visible, at the time you first start up your N800 it should see it and pair just beautifully. At least my K700i did. It works very well to browse the net through a GPRS connection, much better than I expected. Of course wi-fi is faster (and cheaper) though.
What it doesn't do for now at least is handling java applets. It can do flash, but not high performance (it's flash7 I think, while the latest and greatest is flash9). The screen works great for the desktop version of gmail, which should give you an idea.

Well, surfing could eat up megabytes quite quickly.. if I read gmail through the browser it takes a megabyte or two, and reading a newspaper online also sucks bytes. If, on the other hand, I read Slashdot through its mobile-optimized version it'll take about 0.5 MB to read a full day of Slashdot. Anyway I'm planning to try a text-based browser (run in an xterm) and see how much data that will transfer (the connection display on the N800 tells how much data is transferred).

Hey, thanks again for your reply , i was asking because on orange they have a fiar use policy which is they dont like you going over 1gb a month i think, although im not sure what would be the best phone package for me to get 
, have you used PhoneLink, if you have does it work with your k700i and is it any good (im really slow with the phones keypad for texting)

@Haktar: PhoneLink? That's the one for SMS sending from the N800? I'm afraid I haven't tried it. For other kind of networking it's all built-in on the N800 (pairing to phone and the like).

You can send files from one device to the other through BT via the file manager. Set the other device with BT on and visible, and it will show a popup where you can chose to open the file with an application or save it etc. It works more or less the same as when you send pictures and the like between mobile phones through BT. I haven't measured the rate, but as the N800 uses BT 2.0 it at least has the potential to be much faster than the typical BT 1.1/1.2 which is the most common in use on phones currently.
