I bought a N800 a few months ago, and still hack around with it. I have
two 4GB SDHCs in it for storage and additional virtual RAM.
I'm using a gum pack rechargeable, bluetooth GPS unit along with
MaemoMap to do GPS. I just installed the Garrett VM application,
which emulates PalmOS so those applications could be run on the N800.
With GMail adding imap finally, email is better than the web
version. I'm also using the Mozilla engine for web browsing instead of
Opera with better results, IMO.
There is a good sized community of developers out there both porting
stuff to the AMTEL proc on the N800 and writing original programs.
