Does the N810 have more features like addressbooks and stuff like that? Is is it still a stripped down version of a laptop?

It comes with the basic PIM applications as well as syncing with a PC running Palm Desktop. You can also install most of the Palm apps from third party vendors. The URL is http://www.access-company.com/products/gvm/index.html .

I installed this on my N800, and it works! The only issue I have with it is the Virtual Palm machine doesn't fill the display but is just the size of the Palm screen; so most of the ITT's most excellent screen goes to waste. Might as well just buy a Palm. But then ... it IS free!

Thanks do you know if that works with the 770 as well?

No the 2008 OS which is required will not run as far as I know on the 770.

You can pick up a N800 for 200 bucks and it will run on that.

Did anybody even follow the link that wodin provided to Access/Garnet? There's a button there for Nokia 770 version.

If you are running OS2006, use the 770 version. But if you upgrade your 770 to OS2007HE you can use the N800 version.

If you are looking for Addressbook, Calendar, Todo kind of apps - in other words a regular PIM suite, then try GPE. I installed GPE calendar, Contacts (Addressbook) and Todo and a summary screen on my N810 and it fills the void that was there initially in terms of PIM. (was used to the PIM suite on a Zaurus).

GPE for OS2008 is at
