Have to agree.
Just give me a good PIM with Outlook sync. and auto dial on the phone through bluetooth etc. and I'm happy.

I have a sony TZ, which Im guessing is the same size as an Eee, but Im still getting a n810 because it is pocketable. No other reason really. While I have one of the smallest laptops I dont always have it with me because, its still a laptop that you cant aways take with you. An Eee and n810 is two totally different things.

show me any other laptop the size and weight and battery life of the eee thats not over $399 and I'll buy it. it's like saying why buy an n810 when you can buy a oqo model 2 (and yes you can put any flavor of Linux on it) - get my point.

Plus it has a PCMCIA card slot, let's see the EEEs... oh wait, it doesn't have one :0(
If you haven't used an EEE sized PC yet, you will be surprised at ow BIG it really is. Sure, it's smaller by far than the boat-anchor 17" widescreen laptops americans gobble up. But it's really not everyday-portable at all, unless you carry a big purse.

I've mentioned before that they're simply different classes of machine. But there's one reason why that still leaves the EEE "out in the cold" for me. If I want a laptop, then for less than the price of an EEE, I can get an ubuntu compatible wallmart special. And if I want a laptop, the size of that wallmart special is just fine.
So, why would I get an EEE?

If people realized that they could choose just about any phone they wanted feature wise and still have all the capabilities of a smartphone (and then some) it would certainly make the purchase easier to justify.

So, as the other post addressed, add a PIM and an N800 + simple bt phone combo is killer.
