From what I read about Nokia 810, it is awesome! I want one.

But I need to ask a few questions and get opinions.

I would like to replace my cell phone with the 810 by using an aircard and Skype. Is there an aircard that work with the 810? I know there is a aircard that works with Ubuntu, wondering if someone got an aircard to work with the 810.

Do you think I could get ride of my phone and use the 810 as my phone if I use Skype and an aircard?
I think that even with an aircard you will usually need a plan from a cell phone provider. Furthermore, I don't think there are drivers for those things. There's always the option of going MiFi. Still requires a cell phone company, but not a cell phone contract (although you do need a contract) .
