I read somewhere around the middle of 2009 in my rummaging through Maemo. I purposely got an n810 from ValleySeek for about $245 last week. Given that I use my n800 daily to make my work easier and quicker I didn't want to wait until the apps I use are ported to the new OS. Also, I don't see paying over $400 for it. I'm sitting this new release out. I do need to replace my current n800 that's getting a slightly flakey after almost two years of gettting dragged into the most awfull, dirty, wet, hot, freezing places I can find. Not to mention gettting exposed to em fields almost daily from transformers I walk by.
