Yes, it's an interesting choice on their part. However I have to say 
that I've not missed GSM functionality in it. I have an E61 and that
is pretty much on the limit of how big I want my phone to be.

There is an external mic on the n800. It also comes with a set of
headphones that has a built-in microphone. i.e. the headset uses
a special 3.5mm connector with additional mic connector on it. It
works fine with regular headphones as well.
Hmm... I've not tried to use it with a BT headset... I'll have a try 
when I get home tonite.

I've got profiles configured for all the hotspots I visit. e.g. I 
am set to auto-connect to home and office WiFi networks. I've also
got a profile configured for GPRS on my handphone, but that one is
in manual select mode.
The WiFi hotspots with captive portals like [EMAIL PROTECTED] will
still require you to fire up your webbrowser. I still find that
I prefer using GPRS over [EMAIL PROTECTED] for speed.

Cheers
