Personally I would only purchase the N810 because I like to tinkering/play with all the latest software that can be installed on these Nokia devices. (It can do a lot more than the ipod Touch of today)

For example last Night I was transferring Video and music files from my PC to the N800 using WINSCP on my PC, with ssh on N800 which allows me to simply transfer/synchronise data Wirelessly and securely using nothing more than a windows browser on my PC. (Folder to Folder)

OK, the applications on the NIT's may not appear to be as polished as the apps on various ipod devices, but the freedom you have using and installing what apps are useful to yourself as an individual on essentially a mobile Linux device is very liberating.

However in my case I have not come from a mac background and hate the way itunes wants to control the way my music on my PC is manipulated and provided to my ipod, in order to make use of the full feature set. i.e. ratings (have similar problems with Win Media Player on XP BTW)

I do like the Ipod that I received as a present, but cant help thinking its got more style than actual open application flexibility. I would ideally prefer to have one gadget in addition to my mobile, which can be a true GPS, Web Surfing, Media Playing/Streaming device all running at the same time?
