So I was without internet for like 6 days ... and there still is no winner???
I could see the voting problem coming from a mile away. Initially I actually thought it was the 5 judges that picked the winner, but I guess I skimmed that part back then.
My good news is: I saw and held an N810 in my hand. CompUSA had it. Hidden. They weren't going to let me see it (open box thing) and I just said, what about a display? You have the 770 & 800 here. Why not the 810? Anyhow. The guy opened it with permission from the manager. It seemed like I was able to type on the keyboard - in powered down state - without great difficulty ... and that the keyboard extended just enough ... though a couple extra mm might help (hello Nokia?)
The bad news is: neither CompUSA would mark down the price a bit ($480 before tax) so I held my foot down and walked out of the store empty handed. They will only price match WorstBuy and CircusCity apparently and didn't want to make the slightest concession. I can live with that. But there's two main reasons why I hardly ever set foot in CompUSA or make a purchase there: location & pricing.
