Asus EEE was $130 less and performs better at browsing.

I wanted a second GPS source however N810 does not warrant keeping for a sub par feature.
Keep trying Nokia. Maybe someday they will have a product worth buying.
Nokia has plenty of products worth buying, including the N810. You don't like it? Boo hoo.

While I also like the eeeeeeeh? as a browser/email device I can leave lying around, one can't easily compare it with the N810. Different use-cases, different capabilities, etc. I'll take the N810 over and Eee anytime when I'm out in the car or walking about and the Eee when I'm sitting out in the garage.

Having gone through a few revs of the GPS software on the N95 and seeing the current state of the N810 software I'm not surprised that it isn't ready for prime time yet. It will probably eventually reach a usable state. Of course if you are the kind of person that needs GPS then you might want to go with a nice philosophy-major-friendly device like a Tom-Tom.
