I log in remotely to a Unix machine, starts an xterm and read mail in emacs. So the keyboard is very nice for that.
Also I take notes using the keyboard and my todo lists are much better now when I have a keyboard compared to when I had a Palm T5.

True, But as I didn't have the chance to physically compare them before ordering, the size was not that much of an issue (this coming from the guy who usually wears a ScottEvest Jacket when ever he goes out, and has pockest in his custom jeans that are nearly big enough to fit a reader in them
)
And I did qualify the matter of the keyboard in my post, but was probably not that clear. The importance really depends on usage. I mainly got it as a replacement for my venerable Archos Gmini 402, as a multimedia player and a web browser which i could easily carry around and use, without having to lug my laptop everywhere.
If I were doing a lot of text entry, the keyboard would be vital.but As most of my Organisation stuff is in outlook, and I sync it with my Windows mobile Phone, I tend to use that for most data entry when on the move. Xournal about the limit of what I use on the n800. the concern I have about the n810 is the size of the keyboard. As I'm already using a squashed keyboard on my phone, i've learn to keep my entry short otherwise my fingers start hurting. For long entries, or for extended work, I prefer a closer to full size keyboard.
