Well, I have had my 810 for just over a month. ($299 price was the seller<G>) Oh, I'm a PC/MAC person with little Linux experience.
I bought it for our vacation to act as our laptop. We went to Nova Scotia and free wifi is everywhere you stay for the most part.
It worked great with just the OS upgrade, nothing else. The wifi works great. I also brought my apple wireless keyboard and that made answering emails really easy.
I ripped movies and tv shows for us to view when we might be seating awhile or at night in a B&B with no TV. Can't be romantic all the time<G>.
Also brought a splitter so we could use two headphones.
I did buy two 8 gig cards which I filled up with mostly video. Ripping was done using Catalyst 3, I did get information from this forum on what to buy. Many choices<G>
We had nano's already filled with music and I didn't have time to move the music. Also, the nano is small enough to just to put in the carry on.
I wear a leather waist pouch all the time, I know it's geeky but it's functional at work, and that's where I carried the Nokia n810 with me all the time. Just turned it off and let it go through airport security and no questions were asked. If I brought a laptop it would have to be taken out.
Oops didn't mean to give my life's story<G>, but with the great price it does what I needed it to do and I didn't have to worry about "where is my laptop" and lug it around. I am so happy I got it for the trip.
