I would agree on this.  Beyond that, the N800 doesn't even pretend to be a 
PDA.  The Zaurus was designed to be a PDA and didn't do well in that 
regard.  The N800 doesn't even have PDA tools like a calendar and stuff. 
It's an internet terminal.  If you always have net access you can then use 
whatever net tools you'd like, and it would probably work great.
