* Full phone integration over bluetooth. The NIT can fully remote a phone (and act like one), plus some other features like recording, playback?

* Not sure how it can be implemented, but would be very convenient to be able to sync the contacts between the NIT and BT-phones and laptops. I was shocked to see that I can't push my contacts from Mac to N810 (especially after using S60 phones for a while). --[[User:stangri|stangri]] 24 Oct 2008 01:45 PST. | * Not sure how it can be implemented, but would be very convenient to be able to sync the contacts between the NIT and BT-phones and laptops.

* Finally, an alternative GPS-navigation application would be great. And not just the mapping application, but the navigational one, which could plan the route from point to point, ideally have a database of POIs, etc. And do it all not depending on the WiFi/GSM connections. Maybe Nokia/Garmin can support Navit GPS project. --[[User:stangri|stangri]] 4 Nov 2008 03:14 PST. | * Finally, an alternative GPS-navigation application would be great.

it's a really neat package and one which many people overlook. What would be good is if the Palm vm could communicate with the N800 to exchange stuff, e.g. contact information, share a file store (even if only one way). Perhaps if the virtual palm had a virtual network device (like wifi on palm TX) it could communicate that way? | it's a really neat package and one which many people overlook.
