Indeed, I had the same impression. I have an N800 which does allow you to upgrade to OS2008, but when you try things like the fennec web browser its just painfully slow and only seems to be optimised for the the N810. Its really sad because the Mozilla browser is so frustrating compared to WebKit on say the iPhone or Android handsets.

Having been bitten by the N800, I will most definitely not be spending almost twice as much again on the N900. While I really like Nokia hardware, their software does not appeal in the slightest, and the screenshots of the latest version don't seem all that different.

I keep all my favorite feeds in Planetaki a new really easy to use news reading service. Check out my list here:

I mainly keep feeds for blogs of people who interest me and only a couple that produce large amounts of posts, otherwise it gets quite overwhelming with constant news.

Cheers, sam
