Okay, but the iPod Touch looks like a bad deal, too, so that's not saying much.

N810 vs. my N800s, the fantastic advantages look like:
  • No FM receiver.
  • 18/32 the storage space, and that requires buying a new cards. Or I buy (which I would, probably) a converter and still need a new card. (1x32 vs. 2x16 now).
  • No D-Pad or menu key accessible without opening the slide.
  • I get to buy and carry another adapter cable just to use my stock of USB OTG junk.
  • Annoying and fixed camera placement.
  • Apparently sounds a little better with high-impedance earphones I don't have or want.
  • Has a (cooler) transflective screen, which is really only helpful in the big blue room, and largely mitigated by my Boxwave anti-glare protector. (It is cooler, though!)
  • Oh, and it has a built-in keyboard, which is really the only reason I'm considering one. BT and USB aren't that bad, really.

And $220 is still more than I paid for my first N800 over a year ago.
