Could this be the calm before the storm? The N810WME was announced on April 1st. Could this be the magic date the N900 is released on?

I'm just about to purchase an N810, but my gut says wait a wee bit.

What do you all think? I really need your help!

YARR!

Cappy needs helpy
If the prices have soared, maybe wait -- I'm sure they'll drop back to ~$210 when the RX-51 is announced, maybe even down to $190. I don't think I'd go for an N810 if I thought it would hinder my ability to pay $500 for an RX-51 when it comes out, but I did, despite having enough N800s to keep me happy, spring for one at $219, and I'm not entirely sure I disapprove of that purchase. (EDIT: What I mean is, I'm not sure it was stupid, because there was no way for me to really try an N810 without risking some money. I am sure that, already owning my N800s, I wouldn't have bought it if I knew what I do now; if I were starting with no N800, though, I'd go for an N810 over an N800 at current prices, because I do hack a lot, and the keyboard's good for that.)

I'd bet against April 1 specifically, but it could be tomorrow, or it could be 3 months yet -- and once it's announced, we still don't know when it'll ship.
