The N810. The keyboard is DEFINITELY worth it.

I second that the keyboard is definately worth the extra $50.

Thank you both, pinCushionQueen & Capn_Fish.


Considering recent price drop, isn't it $175 vs $250?

Dang! Definitely go for the N810... Man I paid $370 for my N810 only a few months ago! I'm feeling ripped off now that the price is plummeting... maybe it's time to get a backup one? :P

Thank you all!!!!!!

meeting seller in an hour for n810.
$250. Charger, Stylus, Tablet only. No receipt, no box.

Will there be any warranty issues without receipt?

N810 all the way. I just purchased mine from a small marketing group of folks who were GIVEN the N810 by Nokia to use in their adverts. They never used it except for a couple days and had all the box items and such. No receipt tho as they were simply given the unit. Paid $325 for something less than a month old and barely touched. $250 is an even better deal!

Nope; you just need the WLAN ID, which is written inside the battery door and can be obtained from the running system anyway, failing that. :)

It will be from when Nokia thinks he purchased it, though, without a receipt. (Could be as far back as December-ish.)

I'm using my N800 again after mailing my N810 in for repairs, and I have to say... you made the right decision there, especially for just a $50 difference!
