I hope that doesn't mean you thought I'm not pleased with my N800/N810.

I am _very_ pleased with them. That's why I said those issues are just annoyances. I wouldn't post so much in this community if I didn't love the little thing :-) (nor would I have bought the N810 within the first month if I hadn't loved my N800)


Oh, and, I also purchased my N800 _instead_ of a laptop. I was deciding between: black Macbook, iPhone or iPod-Touch, N800. At the time (early Sept '07), I wanted a device with a physical keyboard, so if I had known the N810 was just a month or two away, I might have waited.

I thought "with a bluetooth keyboard, I could probably do everything I _need_ to on an N800, and not need to lug around a macbook". Plus, the price difference was big enough that I felt I could eat cost of the mistake if I got the N800 and it didn't work out for me (it'd delay the purchase of my macbook by 2ish months).

So it was down to the iPhone, iTouch, or N800. I ruled out the iTouch because it lacked several iPhone apps, and lacked bluetooth. I ruled out the iPhone when I found out its bluetooth didn't support keyboards, and I was worried that going down the unlocking/jailbreaking path (to add an ssh client, not to use it with other carriers) might cause me problems later on.

During the few days between ordering and receiving my N800, the iPhone update that bricked phones that had been unlocked or jailbroken came out ... and I knew I had made the right decision on the iTouch/iPhone vs N800 front. And after a few days of using it, I knew I had made the right choice on laptop vs N800.
