And how about making a case that incorporates a BT or USB keyboard?
Hey some neat ideas there - I'd second that on the basis of "if you can't do it well, don't do it at all"...

Got my N810, and like the OP I too feel a bit like I've been suckered by the upgrade-itis Bought the thing as soon as it was in the shop, pretty much without trying it based on hugely positive experience of the 770 (*yes mum...*, that was stupid - I see that now )

Would have been better IMHO if they'd spent the money elsewhere (making it thinner/faster/cheaper/making all those extras modular like you say, with more ports on the thing + USB host mode etc) - basically... please Nokia don't make me pay for extra bits that suck so much they might as well not be there.

I'll keep it of course - it's for-sure an improvement over my 770, but basically all the nice extras I thought I was going to have a lot of fun with/what made me think it was worth spending £300 on the thing (the so-so keyboard, apallingly bad camera, and GPS which has yet to find a single satellite/never worked on mine ) aren't actually of much use - and I've basically come to the conclusion that a slightly beefed-up, shinier 770 isn't worth that price to me - I should've just stuck with the 770 until it was too slow for most websites or whatever (having just-about-watchable YouTube capability doesn't swing it either I'm afraid - was expecting more there too...) and got whatever was the latest-and-greatest then...

Tell your friends folks, hold out for a good discount (like say around the original price of the 770 ~£200 or something) and you won't be disappointed
