I recently travelled to Germany from the US and bought the N800 just prior to the trip specifically since I didn't want to lug the laptop. It worked great. No bluetooth keyboard -- would have been nice to have one! Used it for email, ssh, sftp, VoIP Telephony (Gizmo Project), and uploading trip pictures (my camera uses SD cards) to my web site. I call it the closest thing to a WiFi enabled laptop that fits in your pocket you can buy. (that doesn't run an OS I'm adverse to). Anyway, I recommend it! I found a cheap (< $10 USD) pocket paper pad portfolio thingy with a zipper. Ripped the paper pad out, got adhesive-backed Velcro, stuck it to the back of the N800 and inside the portfolio. Still fit in my shirt pocket. And made it quite resistant to dropping. Not perfect, but I didn't have time to figure anything better out before the trip. Good luck on your trip and tell us how the N800 works for you. Thanks, Steve
