1. Webcam. Only supports N800-N800? Correct?
2. Screen Problems. Whats up with the pressure problems/touch screen problems? Still a problem? Fixed? Rare Problem?
3. Is there any official, or 3rd party calendar application? How about an application for taking Notes?
4. Hows the wi-fi reception? As good as a laptop? Worse? Better?
5. Any other problems I should be aware of?

Thanks for your imput :)

I'll add that the camera in the N800 can be used as a still camera with an application down loadable from the Maemo download site. Don't expect great quality though.

I think someone is working on a video camera application package for the N800.

I have noticed that WiFi detection exceeds WiFi reception, which is alright with me.

Any other problems you should be aware of? If you buy a N800 today, don't freak out when you learn that the Bluetooth interface is primarily for tethering to a cell phone, an external BlueTooth keyboard, a bluetooth GPS rcvr (all three of which us the Serial port protocol). There is virtually no Bluetooth headphone, earphone, headset capability today. Many are saying Bluetooth headphone / headset functionality will arrive in a couple weeks in the form of OS2008, which is supposed to be able to support Bluetooth audio. ENJOY
