What’s wrong with reading comments? :) I read and appreciate every single one.

Tear seems still beta, hadn’t seen it in releases RSS. Tried Midori (also webkit based) but it lacks proper integration – no touch-scrolling, etc.

I have flashblock enabled.

Thanks for virtual memory hint! Somehow I missed that one. Enabled it this morning, will see how it goes.

There is a usable browser now.
Tear.
MicroB and Fennec become marginally usable if you turn off Java and Flash until you need them, and TURN ON VIRTUAL MEMORY as well (Just like Windows has Virtual memory, Maemo apparently has it too)

Tablet is kinda outsourcing functions from phone. :) Modern high-end smartphones are good but pricey.

I could actually afford some fancy HTC but didn’t feel like it. I dislike to overpay when it is not really justified.

Thanks for that post, I’m always curious as to why/how gadgets enter peoples lives :P

Well, blackberries are expensive breed around here (like ~$5000 for contract signup).

I got very tired of Symbian, it turned out to be way too phone-like OS with crappy choice of software. I have no warm feelings for Windows Mobile either so I suddenly run out of smartphone options.

So I went for N810 cause it does everything that very expensive smartphone does (except calls) but better and cheaper. Just add any (and choice is suddenly wide again) phone for talking and EDGE.

I use my N810 mostly as media player and for Internet when I am stuck away from PC (I am way too lazy and clumsy to drag notebook around all the time). I’ve used to watch plenty of video on N810 but no longer need that after notebook purchase.

Basically I perceive it as tiny Windows-incompatible computer.

My N810 might get swapped with some future smartphone but I think we are going to see tablets melt with smartphones into single device. Early prototypes on snapdragon platform are very much like tablet plus mobile phone.

In the end, what won out was the fact that my cellphone died, and so a blackberry was just the logical choice.

I still wish I had one of these, but I’m not sure how I could fit it into my daily life. How do you personally use it?
