like:
- display
- linux
- design

dislike:
- keyboard: displaced because of pad
- keyboard is flat, so you type very often 2 keys at once (keyboard from a Nokia E61 is A LOT better!)
- pad should be next to the display, so I don't need to slide the keyboard if I only need the pad
- metal is slippery and vulnerable to scratches (a rubbery backside would help a lot and didn't hurt the finish, have a look at HTC touch)
- slide out mechanism feels a bit waggly
- long gps searching
- cam - why do we need cams if every 2nd company forbid cams?
- low video playing capabilities - even an aged iPaq 2200 can play MPEG2/MJPEG from digicams if it's cached - without converting!
- where are the (virtual) function keys (F1 - F12)? I can't close mc or use a console app which use functions keys (have a look at Putty on a Nokia E61!)
- rdesktop is very nice but there is no right mouse button. Controlling Windows becomes a little pain
- why they forgotten to compile mouse support by default. If I surf from the kitchen table, a small BT mouse could help a lot
- if I dream a bit: 10Hz GPS engine and motion sensors instead of a low quality cam - so we can use this ITT as a full driftbox (http://www.driftbox.com), engine tuning (maybe megatunix?) and analytics (carman)

All in all: if I spend ~$400 or €400, I would be a lot disappointed, mostly because the hardware (ergonomy and quality) is bad compared to my beloved Nokia E61. And the forgotten video rendering capabilities, mouse support and function keys. Then, the N810 could replace my laptop.
