Hi folks --

Does anyone actually know for a fact that the 800 is discontinued? Or is this just speculation and rumor?

I'm new here -- sorry, don't mean to start off by confronting anyone! I've been shopping for a pocket computer for a while, and I've pretty much settled on the N800. I was planning to wait a bit longer to buy one, so if they have indeed been discontinued, then that makes a difference to me.

I guess I fall in the "geek" category. But I think the 800 is a better deal in some ways. It seems to me, the only advantages of the 810 are the keyboard and GPS; and from what I hear, neither one is all that great. Looking at the price difference, you can get an N800 and a nice BT keyboard and GPS, for less that the cost of an N810. The 810's dinky keyboard isn't much better than an on-screen keyboard; for any lengthy typing, I don't want to have to use a shift key to get to the digits. Also, the 800 has two full-size SD sockets, compared to the 810's one miniSD.

So, does anyone here have a contact at Nokia, or maybe a distributor or journalist who has the straight story?

Thanks --
