Well, adf, in the short time that I've had N800 I've really enjoyed it....
As I said before, definitely, different animal than the Z....but even though they have different feel to them, having used Z's has really helped me get productive on the N800 quickly...
I really love the display on the N800, it's a bit larger than the Z and higher res so that really helps when surfing the web, etc....very crisp, sharp, and bright display!!
One thing that has pleasantly surprised me is how little I miss having a built-in physical keyboard on the N800. Thought that this would really be something I'd end up seeing as a negative. Yet, the on-screen keyboard works very well and is quite intelligent as to when it pops-up automatically at bottom of display when needed...very nice touch (no pun intended....).
I am thinking of getting either a Nokia or Stowaway BT keyboard for heavier inputting...but don't feel any big rush right now....
Another nice touch is the built-in folding stand that has 2 positions. Very useful.
Also, what is nice I've found is the way the N800 feels in your hand holding it. Didn't realize before I actually got it and held it that the profile is thicker at the top than at the bottom. This is a nice touch when I lay it 'flat' on my desk, etc...as it just slightly tilts the N800 towards you, minimizes a bit reflections and easier to see.
N800 is quite slim and trim device, even with the cheapie sleeve that comes with it...fits nicely in my shirt pocket, better than Z....
Device navigation is good once you use it for awhile and get used to where things are....a bit unclear at first, but quickly figure things out...
WiFi implementation is excellent and elegantly done!!...probably best I've seen on any device...it just works!....
Software installs are easy once you figure out the way it works..similar to pdaXrom with feeds (called repositories...). Only thing that is funky is that there are multiple feeds around, so takes awhile to figure out what's where.....
There's not quite as many apps available as for Z yet, but list is growing steadily it seems for the N800/770....N800 can usually use apps compiled for 770, so that adds to the list...But as I understand it, 770 users can't use apps compiled for N800 as it has newer OS....
N800 has 2 SD card slots, one internal and one external...supposedly 4GB max card each...so can have plenty of storage....
I've purposely used N800 most of the time the past week instead of my 3200 so that I'd get used to it and see how I like it....
As to which is better, probably in the end depends....meaning depends on what is really important to you as the user....
The Z is the way to go if you like the mini-workstation aspect of the Z with pdaXrom....
The N800 is probably the way to go if you want a shirt-pocketable device that has built-in WiFi/BT and you want to surf the web/check and send emails wherever you go, and do other light tasks such as reading books, docs, etc...
Anyway, that's the report for now....hope this helps a bit....
Can try and answer some questions if I can....
