I have an N810.  I wouldn't recommend it if the maps application is
important to you, although there is one.  I personally use it mostly as an
ebook reader, and I highly recommend it for that.  I haven't tried the
email. The web browser seems pretty good, if you want to browse on a
screen that small, which I mostly don't.  The Wifi works well.

A pro basketball player named Micheal (yes, that's the way he spells
it) Ray Richardson once famously said of the New York Knicks
franchise: ?The ship be sinking.?

When a reporter asked him how far it could sink, Richardson reportedly
replied: ?Sky's the limit.?
