But I wonder about the 3.5mm stereo out, and apparently no microphone in? Is BT the only way to use the Skype/SIP etc (and I note that there doesn't seem to be a BT headset profile listed).. Another question is we WiFi access. During the iPhone hype there was talk that the phone could automatically connect to hotspots. That won't work with all those hotspots that require login via a webpage, does it (or is there some standard scripting that manages that now?). The same would apply to the N800. If logging into each hotspot requires a dance with the webpage login, and one may have problems if not properly logging out again via the web when trying to use the next hotspot, the WiFi connectivity won't be such a big boon.. _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
