That would be downright un-american here in the states.

The last 3 phone upgrades I made with the same carrier and same manufacturer (the name starts with an /\/\

)I have had 3 different batteries, chargers, and data cables. My wife who is with the same carrier and uses the same manufacturers phone has a seperate account but with an upgrade schedule that is out of phase with mine.

We have a seperate bag with all the dang chargers for when we travel.

Fortunately my last phone is USB and I'm begining to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Added: Welcome aboard Bobbe. IMHO you did real well at that price and will get years of use from the N800.

You probably already know: there's a cable which may spare us another one, and works well (I guess) with both N810 and E71:

My last two BMW's had USB ports. very useful for playing tunes and charging devices.

It has almost everything (and more) I was using in the IT in a third of space and weight:

- gps (fast) and maps
N810 has even better maps (Maemo Mapper and Wayfinder Map) and works great with ext GPS (the internal GPS of the 5800 is crap and I think the E71 GPS is not better)
- qwerty keyboard (smaller, but better)
For mouselegs it is better but not for human fingers. I barely use the hardware kb of the N810 as the onscreen is configurable.
- wifi and bluetooth
N810 as well
- putty client
N810 has native SSH
- fring client
N810 has a much better 'internet call' much better than fring on E70 or 5800
- internet browsing with flash (casual use)
N810 same and has no WAP user agent (check www.cnn.com or www.smh.com.au these are shown as WAP pages on Nokia phones)
- email
N810 as well
- better PDA
If you need PIM you're right otherwise, no....
- PDF reader
N810 as well
- small office (word, spreadsheet)
Yes that is NOT on the N810
- sport-tracking
N810 as well lots of such apps
- mp3, real, youtube players
N810 as well and Youtube just plays natively in browser
- microsd card

and moreover:

- 3G connection
With N810 over BT
- ah, yes: phone calls

The N810 has no 'memory full' problems which is a general issue on Symbian when too many apps are loaded.
And a much better screen (800x480 instead of 320x240)
