There are  sites that accomodate mobile devices see
http://www.cantoni.org/palm/ for a list.

Sometimes it's just what one gets used to when using a desktop/laptop that
can increase the frustration of using a mobile device.

Cost is $400.  For scrolling one can either use the normal right scroll bar
with the pen or one can tab links with a scoll button on the left hand side
of the device. The N800 is a Linux device that has user community support
at http://maemo.org/

Here is a review of the device
