Rider... its a 3.5 inch screen, and unlike the N800 (for now) it has a very smooth scaling and scrolling mechanism.

One should note that the iPhone has not much more than half of the resolution of the N800. This makes a big difference.

In fact, the iPhone's (<spit!>) screen resolution is less than half of the N800's.
iPhone (<spit!>): 480x320
N800: 800x480
Boojah!

Yep, you are right, Karel
I suggest that everybody here makes a test: Resize your browser to 480x320 and then start browsing and scrolling, and see how long it will be that you are heavily annoyed.
Oh yes, I just read another disadvantage of the iPhone: while it has bluetooth, a BT GPS mouse cannot be connected. Happy google mapping then

Does the iPhone have a pdf-viewer? I believe not. Big drawback, how do you read your ebooks then? But even if it had one, the small screen resolution would again be the obstacle.

Of course it's nice to have a shell, to have ssh, VNC and other more sophisticated things.
But they are not necessary to operate the N800. Even if I know Linux/Unix better than English, I'm not too keen to have a shell on my N800. And most people perfectly live without it too.
The iPhone is certainly a nice device. Less heavy compared to a N800+simple mobile phone. And just one charger. But what you can basically do with an iPhone is much less than what you can do with an N800. You are much more limited regarding applications, its smallish screen which is good for WAP, but not WWW.

I do have faith that Nokia will step up the refresh rate on our tablets, so that should help a bit when doing heavy scrolling.
