I recently determined that my memory needs a portable PostIt notepad in my pocket (sounds kinky doesn't it?), so I set out to find a cheap unlockable smartphone with Wifi or possibly an iPod Touch such that I can have such a gadget to remember things for me. I came across what appears to be a great deal for an N810, so I jumped (and should have it early next week).

Now, couple of questions I have:

- It appears Android has been ported for it. Does anyone know if Android will run natively or will it run similar to the Android ports for WinMo HTC phones?

- I read that in order to use it as a phone (Skype in this case), it essentially works like a speaker phone, else you have to use headphones. This "review" was from a couple years ago, so I'm wondering if it's possible to use it as a more traditional handset. I'll be interested in using a SIP client on it.

Any other cool things I should know about it in the meantime?

i have no idea how well android runs on it,
about the sip client, it has inbuilt support for sip so that works very well,
can you please post the link of the location where you brought it, i am planning getting another one.
thanks

Sorry, picked it up off the FS/FT forums (elsewhere). :( One time deal.

Android does not seem to work all that well for it.
But you should go to maemo.org to ask questions about it, there's a lot more people familiar with it there.
