I love my Treo 700P, but I'm seriously thinking about ditching it in favor of a minuscule bluetooth phone...a Razr or something similar. Sprint's EVDO on my N800 is awesome, and anything PIM-wise I'm doing on the Treo (admittedly, not much) can be replicated with a combo of open-source apps and Google.

mobile/cellular routers
Look at the last product I mentioned. Once they have the battery powered and GSM compatible version, it could very well do the trick.

My experience with Nokia's "commitment" to OS2007 told me everything I need to know about the future of Nokia's Internet Tablets.
As a onetime palm user I would say it is time. Palm is always saying they will get their OS finished "next year" and that time never comes.
I do have some concerns about what I see as a lack of available programs and developer support however it does what it does very well. I used to like to be able to play card games on my palm and practice my game but I see no card games available here and the games they do have remind me of what I ran on my commodore. I'm hoping things will improve after 0s2008 is released.
P.S. Many people drop serious money on a mobile computer only when they hope to get more from it than solitaire games.

Games? What about flash? http://www.flash-game.net/game/1996/...hold%27em.html is at least one example.

I have both a Palm device and a Nokia 700. I like them both; however, the answer to your question is easy for me. Do not buy a Nokia Internet tablet to replace a Palm PIM. You will be disappointed.
So... the n810 is an expensive toy, basically. It's a great toy, make no mistake, but do not expect it to be as useful as a $200 Palm.

So, if the Internet experience on a phone (and by that they mean web - just look at all the other Internet services we can access on a tablet) is so poor that it resulted in the creation of a new device type (apparently), why not the poor state of PIM software on a phone?
