I got my N810 for xmas, was ordered from Nokia Canada dec 11, arrived dec 13. I love it.

My unit can be finicky to start if i leave it on the charger and i dont lock it. The trick for me is to leave it on the charger while i start it, holding the button until the splash screen appears. otherwise it may not respoond.

I think the circuit board date is misleading, mine clearly says 2008.

... I really suspect that people with '2003', or '2005' boards actually have 2008 boards that have just been stamped sloppily. 3 and 5 's could easily be bad 8's.

Do you really think some crappy old board would have room for the GPS and different memory of the N810?
