Which means a modified linux interface (heavily used apps / running apps / a launcher menu on the left). Apps run fullscreen. And the browser was absolutely fantastic. It handled "heavy" pages (like WorldOfWarcraft.com) just fine. Flash was supported up to 7, but I can dream that the n800 gains newer flash support. Java was lacking unfortunately, but javascript/ajax were fine - it's the Opera browser after all...

First, it has larger speakers. Second, there's two of them. Third: http://blog.russnelson.com/770/N800-speakers.html Interestingly, the sound on the N800 is much better than the N770.

I use a pretty expensive pair of Bang & Olufsen phones and they reveal what a great DAC and amp the N800 has. It's strongest suit! As good as iPod without the comical Bose bass-bloat.

And for voip calls when I'm away from home. And web browsing. And jabber chatting. And remote logins to the server to do admin work when I get a frantic call from a user. And to read my email. And as a media player. And one of these days I'm going to modify Maemo WordPy so it can submit to my blog.

Small, compact, good for looking stuff up. I'd like to use it for Skype or Gizmo but haven't done that yet. It's not a bad radio, but the nokia healphones are hopelessly non-standard.

I am anxious to learn what you are doing with it as I am a bit 'in the dark.' Please keep telling us what you are doing. I have an N800 and am the only person I know who does.
