Oh, so the burden's on me now to figure out where to store the stylus. Great. Should I just stash it with the now-most-likely-extinct half-screen keyboard? I put serious miles on my n800 before I bought an n810, only to find out that I was still right about what's wrong with it. But maybe now is as good a time as any to give my impressions in relation to each other:

What's Better about the n810:

• screen (it's perfect)
• screen touch sensitivity (artful)
• stand and its gradations (right on)
• fullscreen button placement (they did their homework)
• +/- button placement (good enough for my remapping of page-up and page-down)
• stylus (smaller, lighter)
• speaker quality and placement (genius)
• don't quote me on this because I don't know if they're the same or different, but the WiFi chip seems way more robust

Except for the looseness I'm now experiencing between the keyboard and the screen, the n810 is an exceptional refinement of the n800. Truly, truly excellent. I'm happily surprised.

What's Worse about the n810:

• It has an anchor/keyboard I rarely drop or use
• The dpad would suck no matter where you put it. The perimeter-button feel is all wrong.
• As if the dpad wasn't enough, why the f*ck did the menu key have to go inside?
• Density. The n810 is smaller and heavier than the n800. Thus, it's more dense. This causes more fatigue and I'll stop there...

Things I didn't mention 'cause they're of little concern or difference to me at the moment:

• SD slots (a 4GB partition is still unused on my 8GB micro)
• camera (along with their drivers, they both suck)
• USB jack (whatever, hope I don't lose the cable)
• light sensor (cool, but maybe could use a better algorithm)
• battery (thinner is sometimes better?)

Anyway, besides the obvious processor improvement, it seems that Nokia is running away from me and into the arms of the trendy. My kid doesn't even finger paint any more, why the f*ck should I?
