I knew about no cellular connectivity (though one wonders why a
handphone company doesn't built in GSM).
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..
