I own an N800 and promised myself long ago I'll skip the N810 and wait for the next model... especially as it seems I needn't wait too long now.

Today I saw the price dropped from €300 to €199 on Amazon. I just couldn't resist. It's on its way.

I didn't want this. Really.... *sigh*

Help me justify it:
  • Hardware keyboard... I got into the habit of chatting on IRC in the taxi. A hardware keyboard may be nice.
  • Transflective screen... I use it a lot as a media player during train rides and bright sunlight often makes this a bad experience on the N800.
  • It's a little bit smaller than the N800, isn't it? OK...
  • Nokia needs my money in these days
  • My N800's screen has scratches
  • I might want a device to play with (debian, mer, ...) even when the Maemo5 lead device is out.
  • I could keep the N800 in the office and the N810 at home. Both devices are too big to comfortably be carried around daily.

Anything else I could use as an excuse when people tell my I'm completely mad?
