my n800 is an irreplaceable asset to my life. i honestly can't see myself without this godsend of mobile technology. I honestl look forward to paying for its successor. the n900 will be the true revolutionary device, and i will be the at the peak of my anti-apple fanboyism, sporting a matching shirt that will undoubtedly match my n900 because nokia is the **** diggity, so they will offer the n900 in so many colors that even elton john would be surprised. Go Team Nokia!

While A2DP sound quality isn't audophile, it's perfectly acceptable for whenever I'm on the train etc. (I currently use my SonyEricsson W950i walkman phone and SE BT headphones) - the convenience of not having wires makes up for the reduction in sound quality, which is still perfectly adequate.

Even A2DP on the N800 is quite good, though not perfect, but should improve if/when Nokia implement an official firmware solution (it looks like it's more when than if nowadays)

If I want audiophile sound I'll listen to music in my lounge on my audiophile sound system... but at all other times A2DP is the next best option, for example when I'm listening at night in bed and I don't want to get tangled up in the wires (after I've nodded off) and have my phone drop on the floor!

Being a regular Mac user, I must admit I was a bit torn at first. The main attraction for me, of course, is the ease with which it will integrate into the Apple ecosystem and play nice with my Macbook. It's certainly a very pretty toy and like all mammals I'm easily distracted by shiny objects. But then I think of all the extra functionality I would be sacrificing by dumping the N800 and I pretty much come back to my senses. I've made my peace with the N800 and found ways to get the things I need to sync to actually do so, so I'm not really missing out in that department although it took a bit of extra leg work to make it happen. Eventually I know I would end up as iBall said "banging my head against the wall" once I had reached the iPod's limits. I'm much too adventurous to not get bored quickly with a closed device such as this (which is why I also have Linux boxes around to satiate my experimental side) and I believe I would regret abandoning the N800 in the end. The lack of voip, fixed amount of storage, lack of bt, and not even so much as a notepad type app for text editing are all deal breakers for me. Not to mention lack of speakers as well. I use my IT as a bedside/desktop radio quite often. So I guess I'll be staying put for the time being.

Did you ever use A2dp??? Well i am sure you never....if you would have you would never put such stupid comments. A2dp rocks. Use one and i ll bet my last penny that you will never go back to wires. That includes the A2dp on the n800

No web via bluetooth, that kills it as a Nokia replacement for me.

Same for Archos 605, though I bought it anyway.

I loved my N800 to death for about the first month. I haven't been using it much lately, but I want to. Any good new programs which would keep someoene away from an ipod?

video centre

Gizmo, Skype, real SIP-based VoIP, updated Opera browser, new microb Mozilla-based browser (Google apps for the most part work now), Flash 9 browser plug-in (think "Real YouTube"), new Video Center (still needs work) for video streaming/podcasts, Star Control II - Ur-Quan Masters, ScummVM, Mauku (Jaiku client), Exult, Canoe file browser, UKTUBE (download and watch YouTube videos), UK Media Player (flick-scrolling like an iPod Touch), Claws Mail 3.0 (damn good email app!), Aisleriot solitaire game, Battle for Wesnoth strategy game, etc. just to name a few.
