I have a N95 and N800 and N810. The N810+N95 is my everyday two pocket solution. I use the EDGE link of my N95 to get online with my N810 from just about anywhere. Another nice thing is that I can download 5 megapixel images from my phone to my N810 over bluetooth to display them on the n810's larger, higher resolution screen. I can then upload them to Flickr or Gallery. Bluetooth is slow, but I can start a transfer and then go on with whatever I was doing, rather than spend time swapping memory cards. Still, I miss the convenience offered by my 800's two SDHC card slots. On vacation, I often took pictures with my Nikon D80 and then culled and uploaded them at the end of the day using my N800. It was great to not have to carry a laptop for basic photo stuff!
I don't often attempt to use the inbuilt GPS on either my n810 or N95, as they offer extremely poor performance compared to even an inexpensive bluetooth GPS like my Holux M1000. With multi-minute time to first fix, poor positional accuracy, inability to keep more than a handful of satellites locked in even generous environments and you can see why the built in GPS units on the N95 and N810 aren't worth using except in an extreme pinch. The N810, however, makes a great GPS mapping solution with Maemo Mapper and an external bluetooth GPS, especially with its daylight viewable transflexive display and the car dash mount that is included in the n810's packaging.
I've actually been considering upgrading my year old $650 version 1 N95 for a version 3 in order to get 3g service in the US, get more battery life, more memory, etc. I like the paring that much
