Hopefully this comes out right, I apologize if it does not, I've never actually replied to a mailing list.
Eric asked me to describe my experiences using orgmode on my Nokia 810. I'm actually replying to this on my N810. I have had probably a dozen pocket computers of all sorts over the last dozen years. Ironically the very first one I ever had (an HP LX200) and my N810 were both very close to being ideal. And both because of the ability to run DOS or Linux apps natively. I pretty much bought the N810 to run orgmode. On the LX200 I ran Lotus Agenda. Orgmode on the N810 is just like on any other computer except the keyboard is (to be frank) pretty bad, but at least it's a physical keyboard. The positives way out weight the negatives. For me the positives are: 1) It's so small it's always with me. 2) I don't worry about syncing it because when I'm near one of my laptops or desktops I just ssh into the N810 and run orgmode orgmode remotely. The negatives are: 1) The keyboard, when I have to use it in "away mode". 2) A secondary thing that is negative about the keyboard is that it does not have an Alt key, a pipe symbol key, or a tab key. 3) The only other "negative" is that the colors aren't standard compared to my other Linux or Windows boxes. In summary, I REALLY like this little computer. It runs Linux, I have more than enough storage (with an optional memory card), and it is a "real" pocket sized computer.
