Really weired. I have had my 800 for about 3 months now - use it every day and not only does it never fail to power up or down, I am completely happy with it. I will not argue that I don't place phone calls with my face in the camera and such but I do surf and check email. I monitor radio late at night before retiring in bed and just have not had any problem at all. I have moved to OS2008 with no problem and do routine file tranfers across my home network both wired and wifi with flawless operation. After reading these posts on the power thing I will say that I almost never shut the machine off and then try to immediately turn it back on for fun so I may not be a good example. This does however sound like a software problem that you might expect to get fixed in updates. The user that said something about sleep mode and such may be right on target.

Also count me as prefering the 800 to the 810. Don't want or need the keyboard and I have my stand alone GPS and would not trust the Nokia to save my life anyway.

I like the 800 and perhaps if this power problem does not get resolved folks might start looking at production batch numbers and see if there is a patern. For all I know some of these are made in Mexico and some in China - no telling what plant manufacturing differences may be in play.

My only complaint so far is that I want applications -

1. Business Card Data Base
2. Calendar
3. Scheduler

so on and so on.

My biggest yippee is that I no longer have to travel with a notebook. TSA hates Notebooks and tries to kill them at the security check. The N800 stays in my back pac and nobody ever knows. Big plus for me.

Lastly to promote conversation I forsee the Eee Asus folks making a Slate Tablet" model that will severly change our discussion of the Nokia machines. They will also be small enough to get through Airport security without destruction and sill allow you to get email and news in your room in Vegas where their in room TV is almost censored since they want you on the floor loosing money.
