I really enjoy it as a do-almost-anything-and-still-fits-in-my-pocket computer ;) BUT... For my usage scenario, a video-out would be soooooo much useful. It would let me use it to Powerpoint-like presentations. Sure that a little more CPU power would be great too. Some times... it's just impossible to wait for web sites load and render. After all, it replaced my Samsung Q1 with some advantages - battery life and pocketability. About the software availability, I agree with Eric: there is just no leadership - like in Jesus-phone side... With all the new netbooks fuzz (and the Google Android), we might have a good momentum to a new portable linux distro. Such appearance would take most of the development resources - and I'm afraid about what could happen with Maemo... I have a N800 for a few months now.

I'm personally looking forward to the Aigo MID/Gigabyte M528 as a replacement, although I'd probably install Windows XP for more flexibility...

My previous platform is a small 1024x768 laptop running Ubuntu. I use it for scratchbox and other development, but it is getting old and having occasional problems. The N810 has displaced most things for the reasons you cite. It fits into my pocket (in fact, I have a pair of pants with a carpenter's ruler pocket from Duluth Trading which seems made for it). I'm ready to do internet (with my cradlepoint router or at a hotspot). My iPod is also starting to gather dust since I can't directly download the podcasts (can they do that on a nonjailbroken iPhone3G?). But my Nokia both downloads and plays. And I can plug in a usb thumbdrive, or ethernet (and I can proxy a wireless connection!). And GPS. And keep my check register on Gnumeric. A swiss-army-knife v.s. a toolbox. And watch non-youtube flash and other flash sites. It does video, though directly playing a DVD is very choppy (1fps) - yes, a real DVD in an USB drive. The converted ones work as well as the iPod. Battery life is incredible for its size. I've only killed it once (constant GPS + listening to podcast + weather updates on an 8 hour motorcycle ride - it lasted about 6, but I had a second battery and was trying to test this, so I didn't plug it into a reserve power cell). And let me give a high complement to Nokia engineers. Bluetooth headsets are transparent as are GPS units. The Wifi manages to stay connected without me noticing. These don't happen even on newer desktop/laptop Linux distros, or it is far more spotty. So many things "just work". So do I fidget with my laptop or just listen using the tablet via my headset? Yes it has limitations and annoyances, but fewer than the Windows computers I'm forced to deal with, and I can usually get it to accomplish any task I need without too much effort. Agreed.

The iPhone is a locked and very restrictive system where battery life and functionality are limited. Andriod is not yet here yet. Most other solutions people kick around are far too big to fit in the pocket. Nothing can match the pure realestate of 800x480 in your pocket or the longevety of a good 6+ hours of moderate usage. That being said the device is nowhere even close to it's potential because of the lack of sound leadership and stewardship from someone, anyone. Nokia seems to be heading up the shotgun approach with no clear direction and the developers are doing what they can just to get apps running. I know Nokia is putting a lot of effort in house to the NIT's but everyone else is left scratching their heads wondering "what's up doc?"
