So with all the eepc vs N800/laptop/… I thought I would create my own comparison. So lets take a look at my first Linux handheld and my current.

	Agenda VR3	Nokia N800
Processor	66 Mhz NEC VR4181	400 Mhz TI OMAP
Memory	16 MB DRAM	128MB DDR
Intrenal Storage	16 MB FLASH	265MB FLASH
Display	160×240 monochrome (16 bit grayscale)	800×480 16-bit color
Display Size	2.25″X3.25″	4.1″
User Interface	Touchscreen stylus/finger	Touchscreen stylus/finger
Buttons	7 buttions	Dpad + 4 buttons
Connectivity	IRDA 2XRS232	802.11 bluetooth usb
Audio	Microphone Jack buzzer	Stereo speakers Microphone Audio Jack
Text Input	On screen keyboard Handwriting recognition	On screen keyboard Handwriting recognition Bluetooth Keyboard
Operating System	Linux v2.4.0	Linux v 2.6.21

Well I guess they N800 is the clear winner. To be fair my VR3 has sat dormant for 6 years now or so, but it is still fun to reflect. It was a nice piece of hardware with 2 fatal flaws that Nokia could have, but did not, hit.
1) It released a developers edition with almost no apps expecting the devels to provide pretty much all the apps a real user would want.
2) It was not invested in the Community at all.

And hey if you want to compare youself, pick up a VR3
