Got it yesterday. The one thing I like most about it: It doesn't have a silver front plate that makes it look like a cheap toy. I had almost forgotten about that. The N810 is a real beauty compared to the N800.
Another moment of joy was when I accidentally pressed Ctrl+C to copy a piece of text... and found that it worked. My brain must have been in desktop mode when typing on this keyboard, I hadn't expected this shortcut to be recognized on the tablet but was happy to find it does.
The sound really is wonderful. The moment I tried internet radio I could tell the difference. I was impressed by the sound quality of the N800, but the N810 is even better.
Being used to the N800, I find the N810 a little more difficult to hold. It's too heavy and big for one hand but doesn't feel comfortable when held with both hands, especially the keyboard seems to be the wrong size for my thumbs. They should build these keyboards in M, L, XL, XXL.
I found i really, really miss the D-pad in every day use. I hadn't noticed how often my thumb actually moves over to the left and navigates through lists with this thing. Even worse, the D-pad on the N810 is exceptionally hard to handle. I demand the person who designed it to be punished by having to actually use it.
Both probably are things I'll get used to. Well, not quite, as I plan to use the N800 and the N810 side by side, but still... I'll learn.
So there'll be a lot to do for me this weekend. Installing all the applications I'm used to, getting all my mail accounts to work, bookmark "my internet", re-define the onscreen keyboard (I demand the person who did the German layout to be punished by having to actually use it),.... You almost forget the amount of work you put into your tablet until you get a new one.
