Country: USA (but the n810 rom thinks I'm in the UK).
Purchased: 12/15 from a CompUSA in Des Moines IA (3 hour drive, but they had it in stock which by then no one else - even online - and at 20% off since they were closing).

I'm really impressed.

Everything works well. The speakers are loud enough and clear for such a small device. I don't think I've been below 3/4 full on the battery. Bluetooth goes without effort to the other side of the office. Wifi picks up APs as well as my MacBookPro. GPS is good for the size/space/power, but I'll probably use an external one most of the time. The BT headset switchover works well.

Screen loses color saturation in sunlight but is still very readable (a key reason for the n810 over the n800). I've not seen the OLPC/XO but it might be the only real competitor. Keyboard works well - having it lighted is useful too (there isn't enough screen real-estate to have the tapboard up all the time).

It runs linux so I have VNC both ways, ssh, etc.

Sometimes the web access is a bit slow, but not unexpected for the device (and huge web pages. Adblock and greasemonkey with a blockflash script helps a great deal). YouTube and other Flash9 multimedia work great.

RSS needs to "open in new window" for links. Missing windows media codecs for speech
or such (Win Mobile for ARM processors has them as: wmsdmod.dll wmadmod.dll wmvdmod.dll), so a small number of streams aren't accessible. They aren't on the iPod/iPhone either though.

Hate list: I NEVER have typed the euro or pound symbol, but since I hack linux I use the or bar ("|") and control keys. I keep putting my left thumb over the ambient light sensor so the screen dims. Keyboard doesn't seem to latch fully. USB port covered by the stand. Only OEM chargers indicate full. The "lock/unlock" sometimes sticks - the LED flashing as an indicator would help. The power switch also doesn't feedback well.

They need to include the two adapters I mention in another thread from Amazon with the unit:

And/or a car adapter. They include the vehicle mount.

Although it has some proprietary software, it is real Linux - USB host mode works, I can add kernel modules, and I use Gnumeric, and the shell and system is all familiar (I do embedded linux professionally).
