Bad ergonomics. for my own experience, the battery life on the N800 sucks big time. i get no where near the time it claims to -- and i sometimes get stuck in this reboot problem when the battery goes completely. I have a new problem in that it doesn't always charge. i have had Nokia's all my life and this is the first device from them that doesn't feel solid in terms of power. It feels shaky and i wouldn't leave home without my power lead. i have tried changing battery and it makes 0 difference. -- Alan Williamson "a wiki -and- a blog" @ http://www.Blog-City.com/ b: http://alan.blog-city.com/
