The keyboard, for me, is the dealbreaker.....
Same here. The absence of a right shift key is another problem, but one that seems to be common with mini-keyboards.

Funny, I'm not exactly a loyal fan of the Internet Tablets, and the N810 keyboard is far from ideal. Despite that, the N810 still offers the best combination of pocketability and a (sort of) useable keyboard that I've found. I'm ready to jump ship when something more to my liking comes along, but so far, nothing has. And I had such great hopes for Pandora....
