Hi, this is my firs post blah blah blah and the same think that everybody says when posting for first time.
I am waiting for my N800 to arrive, so I am doing a lot of reading of what I can do to this gadget.
I read a lot about KDE, but because I don't have a ITT yet.
I will like to know,
what are the advantages of KDE?

Please if this answer is already in some post in the page X, send me the link so I can read and have knowledge about it.
Basically, the advantage of KDE on the IT is a computer in your pocket. It's got more apps than I know what to do with (although I'm trying); I can run KDE apps and most Maemo apps (after making a desktop shortcut); I've got full PIM (that works); KOffice Suite; full customization of the desktop and most of the UI - I could go on and on

This is an amazing development for the IT, imo and I'm grateful to Penguinbait for bringing it to us!

One thing not mentioned here yet: Printing. Sometimes this is really useful.
Other secondary functions: multiple desktops with resizable windows, full customization possible and in general: full desktop experience

I've been reading a lot of things about KDE @ N8XX, but I haven't found yet anything about the RAM memory that remains after booting KDE. Is it the same that remains when booting OS2008, less or more? (waiting for my N800 this week).
Thanks in advance!

so correct me if I am wrong.
The pros of KDE is:
-turning the N800 in a portable desktop
-Have Koffice great for documents and the go (ppt, doc, xls, and so on).
-you can compile apps out of the box and to not need to modify any code to port them (well, modify any code to hildonize anyway) {This is great for me
}
-full desktop experience
- PIM
Did I miss something?
