I have been extrememly happy with my N800. 90% of the time surfing the web I don't need a keyboard...bookmarks, clicking links etc.

The times I have found that a "real" keyboard (bluetooth external) is needed is for light word processing and xterm. Otherwise the onscreen virtual keyboard is OK (not great but ok).

If you like hand written notes... there is handwriting recognition. I've not played too much with it yet so I can't comment on how good it is...

Or you might check out the application liqbase. I have found it to be very useful for taking quick notes.
