Yeah, I heard about that! And those were unlocked, unbranded, SIM-free non-contract models, so those 5800s really did only cost $200 in total. Heck of an offer...

(It was quite funny when people talked about the iPhone being "only $200", failing to mention the expensive contract and all the subsequent payments it demands.)

For my money, the 5800 is possibly the best-value Nokia phone they've ever made. It's not the best phone in the world, but IMHO it is by far the best phone at this price level.

BTW I suppose it's my fault for posting this thread in the "competitors" forum with a title like "5800 vs N810" , but like I said before I don't really see these two devices as being directly in competition. They're very, very different devices aimed at different audiences. The 5800 is primarily used as a phone, the N810 is primarily used as a computer, though of course there's a lot of overlap in the feature set when you see them listed together.
