The N800 as a phone would beat the iPhone, no doubt in my mind!

First off, WOM World must love me, they send me devices and I write mostly negative things about those devices!  It's not that I don't like the devices but it's because I do that I feel I focus mostly on their negatives.  If that makes sense?

The N800 for all it's flaws is a capable device that has (or should that be had?) the potential to been an amazingly useful, flexible device.  If you, like me, have gotten bored of my usage of the word "device", all I can say is sorry!  It's late and my mind's-a-blank!

What's the one thing missing from the N800 that prevents it going head-to-head with the iPhone?  It's the lack of er, phone hardware in the device.  I have an understanding as to why Nokia omit the phone part and I know it's ground that's already been covered extensively by others.  Still, it doesn't stop me from wondering what a device like the N800 (or the N810 for that matter) would be like if they had, I dunno, HSDPA capability.  And if you've got the HSDPA for super fast mobile broadband, well you might as well use it for phone calls.

The N800 would also be a lot cheaper than an iPhone but that's a whole can of worms and I'm way too tired to finish this post off!  Ah, the joys of not getting paid to do this... ;-)

Oh, and yes, I know I'm not the first to compare the two products!
