Well if it's of no use for you, sell it. It's ridiculous to ask others for guidance, obviously if you haven't found a need for it, then you don't need it. > I bought an N800 thinking that it was a very cool gadget (which it seems > to be).

Oh great, you are comparing an ultra low-power 320MHZ ARM CPU (RISC) vs a 1Ghz x86 CISC. Here's some learning for you to do: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_instruction_set_computer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture > Then I thought I would use it as a glorified GPS unit > so I spent more money and bought a bluetooth GPS unit for it. > Well, if you're looking for cost-effictive, it's probably cheaper to buy a N810 with GPS on board. > also difficult for me.

It's like complaining about a car because a certain lane on a highway is too slow. > So, all in all, what do people use their Nokias for and are they happy > with the overall usability of the apps and their documentation? Or am I > just being lazy and giving up easily? Yes. You should get a hobby or another "distraction". Clearly the N800 is a very bad toy.
