for its resolution?

For the stated purpose, yes it is. Leaves much to be desired but for other things it works out well enough.

I guess nokia thought that half a screen was better than something bigger (overall). Everything in life is a trade off somehow. Also helps if you have good eyes or good glasses. If I was into working the web even lightly seriously I'd have something like an eee machine.

For browsing it is so klunky that I only use it on rare occasions.

Other than that I love having a shirt pocket linux box :-).

What you're looking for is called a "UMPC".

No, The screen size and resolution is one of the things I like the most about the N800.

Indeed, those were one of the main selling points to me. To nit-pick, if anything, it could a little more height because the width is fine. Still, it is one of the best screens around for a pocketable device.

I think the resolution and the size of the device is good, but one can always use a larger screen.

Obviously the screen size is limited by the overall device size, but if the Nokia engineers could figure out a way to reduce the border around the screen, a 5" display would be possible. Now that would be nice.

Well, yes, 5" would be nice in the same device; but I'd hope it's proportionately higher resolution...

A lot of software doesn't make good use of the screen, but I think the screen itself is nearly ideal.

Get some +3.00 diopter reading glasses for $10 from a pharmacy.

+4.00 diopter glasses are really nice but you have to hold the tablet up close to your face to get it in focus.
