N800 : Not for me :(

The WOM World N800 lay in my table drawer for couple of months and yesterday I sent it back. The beautiful device never enticed me to get my hands over it at all. I do accept that I was really busy for a couple of months because of my house hunt and my office work, but that never kept me from fiddling with my N95. Why? Because the N95 was always with me and I was always connected with GPRS. Carrying the N800 would mean that I either wear a six-pocket pants or some shirt with a pocket as big as the N800.
First of all N800 is not a phone, I was tired of telling this to every one who saw it. It's an internet tablet. It needs WiFi or a bluetooth GPRS/3G phone nearby to connect. If not connected then you can just play the stored media files , read documents and pdf's , make some sketches (paint) or play a few games. I dont have WiFi at home. Taking it to the office was a distraction to my colleagues and my work. The only thing I did on it connected was a little chat on google talk with a friend. Thats it. I've seen many sites and posts with people doing a lot of things with the N800 but even that never egg me to go home and take it out of my drawer. If I had it when I was actually reading the posts I would have done something with it, but its too big to carry and I could not risk travelling in the crowded Mumbai trains and buses with it. So it feels like N800 was not my cup of tea after all.
