I finally got my hands on the n800 at the nokia concept store at wisma. $698 as advetrtised.
Getting a replacement headset isnt hard as this was a common connector in the older mobile phone days. Sim lim basement has a shop tat sells adapters, they should have one that has a mic + headphones connects so you can use your own. Button might be a problem though. E61 owners should rejoice as the N800 shares the same battery as the E61. =) Now to find an external battery charger for my n800/e61. This feels like my old zaurus days again... Now to see if I can get the usb to work in host mode.. and raid compiled into the kernel..... alf - On 7/17/07, Stephan M. February <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

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. > 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).. 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. > Another question is we WiFi access.

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.
