I would much prefer the ENIAC because I can understand it. Unlike these new-fangled gadgets and these crapy dag-nab fancy i gadgets like ipod, iphone, and the ipod touch.Those evil websites like facespace and mybook.

Of corse if you are comparing someting as modern as your phone, to ENIAC, your going to want the most technologicly sound creation of this century(so far) but in all truth, ENIAC was a pioneer for its time, I may only be 20 years old, but I understand that the time, effort and technological boundries pushed to run and maintain ENIAC, made that little peice of technological pie that fits into the palm of your hand possible.

I had previously used a Nokia 770, then now I have an N810. To tell you the truth, I hated the 770, because it was painfully slow, hardly anything worked, plus it was very ugly. I have collected over 50 bugs of the 770 during a single week. N810 is a dream compared to that device, it works, it is much faster (except the mentioned web browser), the hardware keyboard is a blessing, so it is a *usabe* device.

To reply to the message of your post: I agree with you, that Nokia – and others – should realize that tomorrow the softwer will sell the device, not the hardware. And this software is not that one, which could sell the hardware by itself. :)

i agree. the software is what makes or breaks technology these days. i don’t know why other companies don’t understand that. instead, they are still trying to impress us by including a gps, fm tuner, or super megapixel camera. Look at the iphone, it has none of those features, but it syncs very well with the rest of my life with its simple software.

David,

Thanks for the review. By the way, I updated the N800 again and the software update is much more user friendly. Ask me to check it out next time you see me at Bucks.

The web browser actually took a step back in both speed and UI polish when they moved from Opera to their home-grown Mozilla-based browser. I appreciate the many reasons to go with an open-source code base, but it’s frustrating to have so many regressions in little things that the old closed-source version got right.
