I didn't see the N810 'replacing' the N800 in any way. The slide out keyboard was just a conformist thing in my view. Its been around for a while in various cell phone/pda formats. recent example: HTC6800 from Bell Canada.


I specifically bought the N800 'because' it didn't use the ol qwerty in hardware and because of the dual sd slots .....and because it wasn't a cell phone too.

Back on key topic here, I was personally promoting the N800 to a group of Buddhists as a mobile devotional tool to use with their spiritual videos, audio files and various images of their teachers etc.
The price point for the N800 now at about $250ish was perfect and the device showed them great potential as well for those that were traveling(ie ashrams and yoga centers) because of the wi-fi at hotels etc.


Again this speaks to our other discussion threads about realistic supported lifespans of these products. I mean please! The N800 is hardly a year old product. That's disgraceful if they have already discontinued.

Coming back to my salesmanship with the Buddhist community I know. Nokia in their fickle and fast forward manner here are missing out on the fruits of the 'paradigm' they were apparently cultivating with this product.

I might have had anywhere from 20- 200 units sold for them in short term if the group really identified with this wonderful tool in a context they could really use. The numbers could have been much bigger, depending on the snowball effect.

So, people like me who were setting up sales for no other reason than sincere interest in our platform and product will back off completely. and drop any interest in such efforts. GOOD WORK NOKIA. 'you just killed your free sales force.'


....crap.... now to find a better supplier.....oh where is that HP link?......hmmmm....grmbl grmbl......windows mobile blah....apple makes me choke on the seeds!....lost to more product hunting.
