If I didn't have either, I would probably have still bought the n810.
For the most part, the three main benefits of the n810 vs. the n800 are the integrated keyboard, built-in gps, and the form factor.

When I bought my n800, I bought a stowaway bluetooth keyboard, which I am surprised by how much I like. If I'm just taking my n800 in my pocket, than I can live with the text input, but when I take my "man-purse" with me, packing the extra keyboard doesn't really add much to it.

I don't really have a use for the gps (I might be in the minority); and as to the form factor, while the n810 definitely feels better constructed and is I think slightly smaller, I really didn't have any issues with the n800 form factor.

Now, I knew all of this before I bought the n810; so you might ask why I still went ahead and bought it...

Two reasons, first I wasn't sure that they really were going to port the 2008 OS to the N800 and thought it looked much slicker.

That wasn't the main reason though...The main reason was that I was flying home for thanksgiving to stay with my family, and desperately wanted a new shiny toy to play with on the trip.

That's what I get for being addicted to technology

I'll PM you my contact info.

Feel free to IM me at my AIM identity if you're still sell and want to discuss.

For general interest, since you own both devices, why do you prefer he n800 over the n810?

Cheers,
