That's interesting, because today also just
so happens to be the day that I secretly
think about the iPhone, but fail to afford
it, and instead tell everyone about how slow
its network is, while still, secretly lusting
after the iPhone.
It's also the day that I move to your town.

Just lusting after the iPhone is the same as
actually having one (according to the bible
anyway)... If you had an N800 with the added
NavKit, it would guide you right in... Safe
moving!

Wait, then this means that today is the day I
realize that what I've suspected since that
fateful Apple keynote has been true all
along--my fiance has been cheating on me with
the iPhone. I knew I should have hired that
private investigator when I had the chance...

The Nokia N800 = BYOC (Bring your own
connection). YUK. Tried it for a week and
returned it. NO JAVA VM - NO Built-in GPRS -
Cell-Phone tethering is hit or miss....

Robert ~ I am praying for you.
Mary ~ Admitting that you need a private
investigator is the first step toward
recovery. (Or something.)
Interstink ~ Me thinks you just didn't have
a good experience... My experience on the
other hand has been nothing but good. And, a
whole lot cheaper than $99/mo for an anytime
connection.

My feeling is that anyone who's willing to
wait in line for days to spend over 500
dollars for a cellphone (service not
included) that will start becoming obsolete
as soon as you step out of the store, should
take that wonderful phone and use it to make
an appointment for the psychiatric help they
so desperately need...

So I just pulled the trigger and bought one
of these... How do you like it? I got it to
surf the web and also check email on the go.
Anything else really cool you like or really
dis like about it ? Thanks

I LOVE it! It pretty much does everything I
was looking for in a handheld device and it's
small enough to take everywhere. BUT, that
comes at a slight cost... Be prepared to get
dirty and learn the nuts and bolts of the
thing. This isn't just a device you can turn
on and be done with -- it can be very
technical and a little confusing at times.
But, once you learn how to install apps,
configure certain settings, etc., it's a
dream. Congratulations!

Dean, I beg to differ. Seriously. But, I'd
hardly blame you for thinking that if you
don't own an N800.

The N800 is selling all over for $250 or
less. It's gotten a lot cheaper than an
iPhone now. And with my N800 I can set up a
secure tunnel to my home network via ssh and
then get a remote desktop with VNC. And how
cool is Skype? Really cool, that's how cool.
Waiting patiently for video calling with
Skype. Ok. Not patiently. But waiting.

i played with one of these at a store last
night and i really like it. i know that linux
supports yahoo chat with video via kopete.
does kopete run on the n800?

Mustafa ~ Kopete is not currently available
for the N800/810, but it could probably be
ported if you have the know-how.
There are a few chat apps that are
currently available, though: Google Talk
(core), Pidgin (3rd party), Skype (3rd
party), etc.
Unfortunately, video chat is still a bit of
an issue with these devices. The
functionality always seems to hover
somewhere around Alpha. But, hopefully, the
new OS (to be released sometime in November)
will fix some of this.

Looks like the Gizmo project will be first
out of the gate with video chat to the PC!
They claim to have a video-capable version for OS 2008!
My wife has dubbed my N800 the
"mini-mistress" 'cause I always
seem to be poking around on it.

Qol ~ Yeah, some people have already reported
using OS2008/Gizmo video successfully. And,
unfortunately, I think your wife and mine
would find a lot in common in that regard.
Mustafa ~ Congratulations! :) I think the
upcoming version of UKTube should come with
an icon that I created!

I called my wife's cell phone from my N800
using Skype last night, sitting in a cafe and
eating a muffin. I used the cafe's free wifi.
I had to stop the Internet radio stream and I
had to minimize the e-book I was reading,
first. Can the iPhone do that?
I'm pretty sure the iPhone can't do this:

Qole Pejorian You don't have to stop any app while using
another app in iPhone. it just works because
it's multitasking and it's fast.
On the other hand, you have to stop all
apps except Skype before you can use skype
because N800 isn't multitasking wise.

Interesting. In my opinion, by describing
it as such, you're placing the same
description on any computer -- because that's
basically what the N800 is.

Chris, I had to stop the music because, um, I
was making a phone call and I'm not
multitasking enough to concentrate on a phone
call with music playing loudly at the same
time... And I minimized the e-book so I could
see the dial-pad, since, while I enjoy
reading novels, they aren't very useful for
phone calls, either.
The N800 is perfectly capable of
multitasking. I used it this week in the car
as a GPS navigator / wayfinder and a
iPod-like jukebox, simultaneously. I'm sure
the iPhone does that really well, too. What
GPS mapping software would you recommend for
the iPhone?
Here's my attempt at importing the GPS route data
from Maemo Mapper into Google Maps using
gpsbabel, a command-line GPS data
manipulation program I've installed on my
tablet.

Oh, I'm always on the side of Apple... That

certain issues. But, they seem to be opening
up again, so... But, seriously, I'd love to
have an iPhone. Still, I think I'd love my
Internet Tablets more.
