In about an hour I'll be heading over to Tiger Direct to buy an N800. I know it's not really a replacement for my Sony Clie/Palm but it was time for a new PDA and I wanted something extensible and something a bit different. I also wanted WiFi, an MP3 player and didn't want a phone. The N800 is priced better than the PDAs I was looking at and will be able to do quite a bit more so it seems like a good choice.

Thanks to all the people on this forum for the advice I've been reading over the past few days.

expecting the unit to be a PDA replacement is a recipe for disappointment. I make do with BT tethering and Gcal, but that's not for everyone.

Sachin is right; if you're expecting a PDA or a direct replacement for your Clie you're in for a shock!

welcome to the tablet community. we always welcome more. but as others have said, if you are expecting it to be a pda replacement, you may not know what you're getting yourself into. but i hope that it fulfills your needs and you end up loving it.

I used to be a C programmer and a Unix tech, and I'm now a data architect (abstract, Hay/Silverston-style enterprise models) so I don't mind fooling around a bit. I did mention in the original post that I realize the N800 is not a replacement for a PDA. I really only use the PDA for phone numbers, meeting reminders, birthday reminders and keeping some notes so I'm hardly sophisticated. That "keep it simple, stupid" mantra is something I follow fairly heavily.

Thanks for the warnings 'though. It's all moot anyways, my local Tiger Direct was out of stock and will not be getting any more. Maybe I'll try another store tomorrow.

" An hour away from an N800"

Thought you already had one and had to go away from it for an hour, was thinking "oh no, poor guy! noone should be forced to do that" :3

heh.

I've been trying to convince my supervisors how much more productive I could be, if I were allowed to access the wifi AP with my n800 at work... I don't think they're buying it, though...
