In my post I said that you have a software conflict or your hardware is faulty. Judging by your post kiso666, I guess it is the latter this time.

When I said palms don't reset by themselves like that I was more refering to the software not the hardware. Of course it has its bugs and yes it's not perfect; I know that; and I know that there are people out there with palms that reset. What I was saying is that the Palm OS is mature and stable. Once it is ported to a device correctly and released by Palm. As long as the device is not faulty by design as the 700p seems to be. You'll end up with a pretty good device to use.

In my earlier post I also acknowledged that in 2007 Palm Garnet may not be the ideal thing to use on a powerful device like the n800. You would need the multi tasking and such to work.

In summary if an upgraded Palm OS was on the N800. And it had the stability of the current OS. Then I would buy it for sure.

This thing is being fairly heavily marketed by T-Mobile in Germany as the 'Ameo'. Price is 500 euro bundled with their 24-month cellular contract.

Seems to be doing fairly well, due to the point-of-sale presence and marketing blitz (inserts in newspapers and magazines), mention in every computer/mobile rag...

Obviously the 640 width limitation and windows makes it lame-o compared to a 770/800 + bluetooth keyboard - for those with a clue(tm).

It has about 10x the mind-share as the Nokia tablets in Germany among those business types who have the pocket change to splurge on these gadgets. The 770/800 would have made a similar splash if they had a) bundles (with bluetooth kbds, for umts customers) with more german cell phone operators b) the marketing campaign and c) the point of presence in cell phone shops. I've carried my N770 into 4 cell phone shops and none of the salesdroids had ever seen anything like it.

As a rule, they were impressed... and surprised they hadn't heard of it. Obviously i'm a Nokia evangelist, but i'm just one person...

Cheers
