I have this 32gb Flash device and the dock. Bluetooth tethering is fine but its not always reliable. Probably going to sell it soon.

I have the 16 gig with the latest firmware and still experience the wifi problem.

wifi problem? is it in any way related to the power saving issue that can happen between the N8x0 and a somewhat older hotspot?

You really don't need a memory card slot with 160gb or 500gb of storage.

Then get the 16gb or 32gb versions which are much slimmer.

Not sure about the wifi problem as i've never experienced it on my n810.

But here is the quick version of the archos wifi problem I experience.

I'm online on my home router, everything works fine then all of sudden my connection drops. I go to settings, try to turn off wifi then I get an error message saying that wifi can not be turned off. I can't connect to wifi nor can I turn off wifi. Only resoulution is to restart the device.

That and the touchscreen that isn't as good as the n810 are my two biggest gripes with the archos.

Besides that it's a lovely device.

hmm, that could be a software or a hardware issue. And not at all similar to the N8x0 wifi issue (basically if you have a older hotspot, when the N8x0 attempts to power save on the wifi the connection will sometimes stall as the hotspot thinks the N8x0 have disconnected or something like that).

Archos wifi is 802.11b/g/n while the n810 has 400mhz processor, Archos 5 processor is 800mhz, Screen on Archos 5 is 5 inch screen on Nokia n810 is 4.1 inch, ram on n810 is 128mb while its 256mb on Archos. The Archos 5 I can find 270 usd for 32gb while the Nokia n810 I find for 300-400 usd for only 2gb of storage.
I find that the hardware keyboard and SD slots on the N810 are better than on the Archos. Oh wait.... :)
