Re: Mini-comparison: N800 and OQO 02
I should have mentioned in my original review that I largely use the OQO as an internet everywhere device, rather than a true laptop replacement (despite it being somewhat capable of the latter). So...

Mini-comparison: N800 and OQO 02
I recently got an OQO 02 and thought it would be useful to compare it with the N800 (I used an N800 for a month). So here's a mini-review of an OQO 02 with an N800 audience in mind.
OQO 02:

Re: Money no object
I used an n800 every day for several weeks, and have studied the OQO 02 and handled a pre-production model briefly at OQO's HQ.
The n800 wins over the OQO in terms of:
- battery life
- quiet...

Re: Thoughts on the N800, owner since Jan 8, 07'
I'm eventually going to write a longer review, but here's my take on the N800 after two weeks.
- battery life is amazing. When the screen dims, the N800 is still on the net, and gets several days...

Re: Slightly frustrated - n800 noob
The problem, I believe, isn't that there are variants of the OS that one has to know about in order to install software, it's that there are two parallel naming schemes, one from marketing (IT OS...

Re: CompUSA Clearance Sale
Just to make it clear, I think this applies only to stores that are closing, rather than the entire chain.
I was in a the CompUSA in Emeryville, CA last night, and there was no sale on N800s (or...

Re: Slightly frustrated - n800 noob
The OS naming thing is confusing to me too. I don't want to keep track of N800 = Maemo = IT OS 2007 (and then have to know what bora is when I'm browsing packages). I wish there was just one name or...

Change in CompUSA return policy for N800
I had read in previous threads here that CompUSA had a 21 day return policy for N800s, as long as the buyer had the receipt and all the materials.
I have asked at two different CompUSAs in the San...

Re: BT headset for N800?
No. The N800 does not work with bluetooth headsets. Nokia does not support them and
does not ship the necessary software on the N800. I found this out after buying a Nokia
bluetooth headset,...

Re: Does GAIM work on Nokia N800
Yes. I use it for my AIM, MSN, and YIM contacts. I use the N800's built in chat app for Google talk contacts because of it's superior alerts integration with the OS.
I have found that I sometimes...

Re: WSJ Article on N800
I think his review is accurate. For his main audience, executives and non-technical managers, the device is unpolished ... more of a beta than a ready-to-use business tool. Mossberg points out the...

Re: The great offline issue
Even though the syntax is different, Python is a lot like Scheme. Once you get past the syntax, you'll be fine. If you want, think of the tab key as open-paren :)

Re: What about Bluetooth headset on N800
The engineer in me wants to agree with you, but the consumer in me is confused. If Nokia didn't mention Bluetooth, it would be fine.
If Nokia clearly (on the box) said "Bluetooth for keyboards and...

Re: What about Bluetooth headset on N800

Re: cron jobs and suspend / power save mode
That's a good point. If the machine has suspend mode, where it powers down everything except RAM, it might be less power consuming than actually rebooting the machine. It would depend on the amount...
