The problem with that is the cost, not in terms of money but in terms of power. A faster CPU automatically uses more power. A faster CPU (e.g. the new embedded "low power" x86 CPUs) could easily drop the 10 days/7 hours usage pattern down to 2 days/1 hour, which would have made the N800 pretty much a pain to use.
