Unfortunately, again, this common sense doesn't have much to do with reality.

The N800 and N810 are basically the same piece of hardware at their core. For all practical purposes, there are no differences between them. Supporting the N800 basically came free when you supported the N810.

The differences between the N8x0 line and the N900, however, are more extreme than even those between the N800 and the 770.

Again, still not worth much. Facts are available in abundance here, so gut feelings aren't particularly useful.
