I find myself in the same situation as yourself. I recently received an N800 from Buy.com, and I was really worried about the power on issue. So far, though, I have not had any problem (knock on wood). And I'm trying to avoid the problem by not plugging it in while it's on, as that seems to be the cause of most of the power on problems. But I do still worry, that my N800 might have the problem but it is just not manifesting itself.
