Why do you associate PDA w/necessarily having or not a PIM?
PDA (to me) means same thing as palmtop. I look at N800 as
PDA/palmtop...not UMPC/tablet.
My iPAQ 4700 pda can do everything the N800 can do and more (at this
point anyways). ssh, rdesktop, vnc, etc. I sure don't consider it a

I think there is kind of a pkg dependency hell going on. I think

On my unit I only have to nokia repositories listed and maemo.org for

Yet like 60% of the packages I wish to install require either python
2.4 (I'm on 2.5) or like btfilexfer
Google on red pill mode for nokia device and enable it. This will give
