Youve been a lot of help, thanks!

I'll wait for 770 owners to chime in if I can buy it just for the internet and some pictures. For now I'll play with my brother iPod touch.

I've had a 770 for a few months now, great little piece. It's ok on the internet forums, not great though. (I belong to 5 car forums and few others) Video for me is pretty much a no go, I haven't played with it too much though it just doesn't seem to handle it that well and it's not what I bought it for. The main purpose I bought it for was to get email and cruise the web every so often and in my car as a touch screen mp3 player. It does this well and for the $70 I payed for it I'm as happy as can be. But I wouldn't buy one for video, I'd go with the N800 as I just bought one of those as well. :)

Where can you find a n800 other than ebay, today, at that price? There is none.

You have to look around, but I think I remember seeing on on buy.com for $219 and didn't Thoughtfix have a post about $200 n800's the other day?

Being a previous 770 and current n800 owner, I'd go with the n800. It may be a bit more expensive, but IMO, it's worth it. You might have troubles with some video websites, buut the n800 is better suited for them, and multiple pictures.

As for music, if you get an a couple SD cards, you'll be good on storage space. I would also recommend Canola, instead of the built-in media player.

Looks like I'll be going with the N800! Is it fast though on pictures on car forums or any other forums for that matter?

Re: Which Internet Tablet to get?
 
Sorry for the double post, but I don't need this device right now.. Do you think I should wait about 2-3 weeks or maybe a bit more then buy an N810? The small keyboard really applies to me.

Re: Which Internet Tablet to get?
 
Triple post.. so sorry but theres no edit button! :(

Okay, what if I got an N800 then payed the 14$ a month on my cell phone for unlimited browser, hooked it up to bluetooth, then just used it for internet all the time?

What do you think the battery life will be? For the Nokia obviously, I'm not quite sure about my phone.
