What I don't get are the extra magnets, supposedly to attach the N800 to a fridge. Now, I don't know how people use fridges in Finland (probably not that much, seeing as how they have a landscape-sized fridge outdoors), but over here no magnet is capable of staying on the fridge for more than a couple of days. I'd really really really not trust my N800 hanging there...

But point taken: I shan't mention alternative cases, like this one: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=105191, any more.

I stick my phone book to the fridge with a hard drive magnet.

Yeah, it is pretty steep (£ 24.95 is $50!!) for what is quite a minimal case, but unfortunately it's precisely this minimalism that appeals to me!

Mil or anyone as I referred to in an earlier post when we first got the new updated firmware the Tableteer Applet Icon (that shows up on your IT desktop if you use it) I swear showed to me what appeared to be a HARD COVER for the N800 did it not ? The link never did work as it always gave a 404, (and now is mysteriously gone as well) but I swear it looked to be a hard cover, I mean the icon was small so you couldn't get a great look at it and as I said before as the link was broken unfortunately.., now that I might, maybe pay $43.95 for, maybe..

After waiting for "Availability" to change to today (it was "Available in 1 day", yesterday) the availablity has now jumped to 31 August...

I have visions of this turning in to the same farce as last time where it will end up "Discontinued" due to Nokia not providing any stock.

The cover is turning out to be the most anticipated vaporware since Thor-CD.

I'm wondering this myself. I don't keep my keys, wallet, or cell phone on the fridge. Why the heck would I want to keep my n800 on the fridge?
