I greatly prefer my N810 to my N800, but even so, I'm going to agree with dbec10 and GeneralAntilles.

Your list doesn't look to include enough text entry to make the hardware keyboard seem worth the upgrade, and while the N810's GPS isn't horrible, it's not worth trading in your N800 for it. Save your pennies for a Maemo 5 device.

In the meantime, if your current Bluetooth GPS too bulky, you could just look for a deal on a newer, smaller one. For instance, last summer (just before my N800 died and I bought an N810) I purchased a Holux M-1200 for about $36 U.S. At approximately the size of a pack of gum, it drops easily into pocket, and it achieves a lock far more quickly than does the N810's own GPS.
