Ditto about the keyboard. I had a pair of Makos (yr 2000 Symbian black
and white PDA) which was the same size as the N800, only it folded open
to have a decent keyboard along with the screen. It also had a WP and spreadsheet that integrated files with Word and Excel via USB. The keyboard was great. I could go to a seminar with it in my pocket and take notes on it and then port the notes over to my network. My daughter used her's to write notes and work on a fiction book she was writing. No wifi, no color, no browser. But very useful and good user support network, until it's rechargable battery got tired, and/or the strap connecting the keyboard to screen came loose. The key to it's utility was the built-in keyboard AND included compatible word processor/spreadsheet, neither of which are available for the current N800 format. In the linux world, it seems the foundation for a decent WP/Spreadsheet program could be found somewhere between StarOffice 5.0 and OpenOffice 2.0 that would have compatibility with Word and Excel. Or perhaps some webware will evolve to let one edit online thru the browser. However, either way, this would be almost useless with the screen keyboard. However, it seems action on this front may be around the corner if one is to believe a recent Nokia announcement that appeared with a Mako google search on Geek.com.
