1. Come on, how important is that? Heck, you don't even have Firefox, which would tell you you'd misspelled the abbreviation for "et cetera".
__ok, joking aside, no, they really don't have a "prime time" word processor yet. Abiword is close.

2. It is a computer, so your question is poorly formed. If you mean "A Windows computer running Internet Explorer, of course not. There are always some poorly designed sites out there. The current n800 flash implementation works, but if you go to a site with video ads, that's gonna be slow and painful. Of course, most sites no better than to serve video ads.

3. Common Problems? Well, OS2007 isn't quite mature. Common problems involves things not *quite* working: so you have to be comfortable implementing workarounds. The next set of problems deal with repository issues. The n800 is very much a "Yes, but" machine at the moment, and by that I mean the answer to every question "can it do X" is "Yes, but." If you can handle the "but" part, this is the device for you.

4. volume works well enough. Earbuds are a good way to kill your ears. Speakers: it is a portable device. Speakers are handy, and good quality, but it's not a boombox.

5-6. yes, both are SD cards, and both are for data storage.

7. UKTUBE (which is semisupported by Nokia at the moment) is the way to go. Yes, it downloads YouTube, and plays it back at full resolution/speed.

8. Someone else will tell you that. I have enough problems with people messaging me on skype.

There have been a ton of these "about to order, here's a list of thing you guys need to look up for me"-topics over the past few weeks. Normally, I've been inclined to answer these questions but it's getting a little ridiculous. To all newcomers: use the search function these questions have all been answered before (heck, some of them right on the N800's product page :\) and many of the in topics of exactly this format. Doing a little of your own research will take you a long way.

So is the built-in Jabber client with the right server configured. I'll have one for all ITT users to use soon with all the major IM gateways up and working and under our control. I might start accepting users tonight.
