And This is Why I don't Want an iPhone
Although I don't like touch screens and I love using keypads and keyboards, I wanted an iPhone the min I heard about it, I wanted it more the min I saw it.
I didn't actually buy an iPhone, I just borrowed one from a friend and played a lil with it, hell I kept it for an entire month :P Anyways, I didn't like getting online from it, it wasn't that fun!!! And I don't have that many photos to store in an iPhone and I need at least 70 gigs to store my music, clearly, iPhone isn't the way to go, especially that I'm so in love with my pink version of 80 gigs iPod Classic, my W880i phone and waiting so bad for the Motorola U9.
So here's the device that blew me away....
It's Nokia N800
I never thought in a million years I'd like Nokia!!! people who know me know how much I hate Nokia and how much it drives me crazy, but I think it's jus because this device has a linux OS running on it what makes it so special ;)
I've been using this device for over a month now, and I can't get enough of it, really!!! The IM clients, the internet browser, the RSS reader, the games, the music and movie players, the wireless connectivity and on top of all that the way I can customize every single thing to the way I want is what made me fall in love with it!!!
You can install games and applications on it. The application installer software is very basic and easy to use.
You can turn full screen mode any time you want using the button on top of the device and also you can zoom in and out easily.
There isn't a keyboard on this device, but there is an on screen one, you can use the stylus with it or your fingers, it doesn't really matter.
You can also turn the entire screen into a keyboard to make things easier :)
Last but not least is the VoIP feature, this device has a built in speakers and microphone, you can use Skype or any other program to call your friends.
One last thing I need to mention, you can connect using Wi Fi, or bluetooth connection, if you had your mobile near you and it had GPRS, EDGE or 3G, you can sync both devices and get online :)
I ordered a Nokia N810 and I'd be getting it in a week or two :)
I can't wait.

its too bulky... great options but doesnt look too user friendly. I use my laptop for all that internet browsing, the phone is for calls and messages and normal stuff... I already carry my laptop everywhere I go and dont need another small PC on me.. but it is a good phone, just not for me
Hey, I like whats behind the nokia :P anyways. When you get it let me know how well it syncs with your mac. My n95 and e51 do an excellent job but I would like your point of view on it. will post it on the site if you do a full review. Thanks.
Fonzy, Dear, this is not a phone, it's an UMPC :)
Power_Boz, At first I thought you were talking about the camera :P then I realized you meant the mac... I didn't sync it with my mac, I use bluetooth to transfer whateva I want. There is a CD with a software of course and a USB cable, I jus always use bluetooth :D
The killer app for me is probably Skype. It almost makes me want to ditch my iPhone for this Brokia. Almost.
if only it wasnt a nokia =|
the linux thing nearly makes it worth it but i still cant get round the fact its a nokia =|

N810 is something amazing, I got one and I am messing with it doing some customization since it uses linux OS(Maemo), that is something I know, it is so much fun :D
i think its wierd that my father is very comfortable wiht it yet to me its too hmmmm TOO MUCH ...
It looks kinda manly :\
But the features are to DIE FORRRR
i likey but my kinda UMPC would be much beefier like the OQO 2 or Vaio UX (much more expensive) abiiii =(
