I think the N800/N810 models are great, personally. They could be faster, but with tear as the browser, it's actually, in my opinion, very fast. It depends what you want to do with it. If you keep an eye on the N810's at Buy.com, you might see a low price return (they've been $200 and even $175 or $180). Alternatively, if you aren't jonesing for a keyboard, you can pick up a brand new N800 (as I did, for a backup to my unit) on eBay for $150. The touch has advantages and disadvantages -- you can find plenty of threads about that; use the Newbie link in my sig.
