I am not asking for guidance, just curious what it is generally being used for. Maybe there is a function I missed and someone else has thought of.

It is not about computational power comparison, it is about functionality.

If you are selling a device that works half the time for half the tasks then the reasonable question is whether the device is worth it. If I came up with a device touting a function of it that depends on infrastructure that is not there, how is that a usable, functional device? Since I am a customer, I am asking other customers what they use their devices for and whether they have found what I found - that the N800 is not really what I (or they) expected it to be. If you found a good use for your N800, great, you can share it or keep it to yourself. If you share it, maybe I learn from you and I find a use for myself.... > > 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?

I think you need to re-read your email and reflect on your communication skills. Pretty uncivilized, in my opinion.
