Hi:
I'll probably get flamed, but in my personal opinion the 810 OS and the available software are prone to agravating problems. Lots of them. Nokia has the hardware down solid. It is first rate, but they also admit that they are just exploring the potential of this market. They have left to others the creation of software. While there are many first rate applications and the OS is improving, I feel some reservations recommending it to someone who is to use it for getting work done rather than for
tinkering.
Considering the massive amounts of polished software available for the iPhone, and the fact that a suitable voice and all you can eat data plan will cost you $70 a month (the same as for the iPhone), and that a cell phone ($150) and an 810 ($3-400) will run lots more than the iPhone ($199 - $299), I would take a long hard look at the iPhone. It's one major disadvantage is that as yet you can't write software for it. I think this will change Steve willing or not.
In the end, you pays your money and takes your choice.
Good luck!
I forgot a big point. The 810 screen is massively better than the iPhone's.
