Gotta agree with qole. I really, really like the looks of the N800. In fact I think that actually hurt the product with mainstream consumers, because it looked more polished than it was.

Actually it was my position that was sacked
Sorry, I knew that was the situation but my phrasing implied something personal.

It was not intended, just sloppy and I apologise, my bad.

The first time I read you post something like this, I thought you were being sarcastic, the 770 looking so much more polished than the N800. But I guess everyone has their own opinions, even ones that are wrong.

I have tried everything:

Nokia N770, Nokia N800, iPhone 3G, Acer One 8,9" Netbook, Thinkpad X61 12,1, Mac Book pro 15,4", usw.

And the result is:

I wait and need urgently an Internet Tablet with Touchscreen (high resolution and 7 - 9" screen size) - with Linux from Nokia or with Mac OS from Apple or with WebOS from Palm. That would be the solution

Prio. 1 - Highspeed WLAN and mobile HSDAP (UMTS) inside

Prio. 1 - Browser with Java & Flash (see iPhone or the new Palm Pre) and Cloud Innovation

Prio. 1 - Skype inside

If price matters more than screen resolution and size:
  • Eee 701/702
  • Hacked-in USB 3G dongle
  • Aeeeris cover
  • Mer i386, supplemented with regular i386 Java & Flash plugins, Skype, and whatever else.
If not, just grab a U820 instead of modding the Eee.

Invest - max. 1000 $ - if it is a good Internet Tablet device - no problem

but it must have Bluetooth for Headset and external Keyboard

4" or 5" are bad for serious Internet surfing and work

and I would not - a netbook

in other words, a "skype phone"?
No - rather an Google apps Internet Tablet

or maybe beagleboard and a battery

still, skype is a bothersome requirement. sure wish they would enable some kind of generic protocol for third party software...
