This is a sexy beast.......hope the wifi is speedy!!

Will the Windows CE knock down the screen resolution? I'd heard of it doing that on other devices.

...and if it looses power you have to reinstall every third party app that you had to buy to make it useful, re-tweak, and remember all passwords etc.

I have an iPAQ 4150 with BT and WiFi that I bought 2 years ago in anticipation of WiFi hot-spots. It sits on my desktop in the cradle. WinMo makes it a true PITA.

The included IE browser is quite limited and about the only thing it has over the N800 is the ability to run a J2ME runtime. Even then it runs that in an exclusive window that does not allow concurrent services to be running.

Maybe WinMo 5.0 is a better implementation but my experience with WinMo CE 4.20 was my primary motivation to get involved with open source.

Microsoft sold me on Linux. :D
