but I still feel that its primary appeal is to Linux geeks, since it lacks some other key apps and has a relatively high price. Also, WiMAX isn't widely available yet. Today, most people will likely settle on an iPhone 3G, instead. If not, Nokia's own excellent E71, .....


The iPhone 3G and Nokia E71 are more expensive and have a smaller screen and the latter one a keyboard designed for mouse legs rather than human fingers.

Comparison (Europe):

N810 (non-wimax) EUR 320
Nokia E71 EUR 400
iPhone EUR 600 (if available without rate plan and simlock)
Nokia N96 EUR 700
