I have been looking for replacement in the same price range ($200). So far the only thing the seem compelling is the Smart V5, which supposedly can playback 1080P?

As I said, I want something that can at least playback video at least full resolution (aka 800x480 video works on 800x480 screen). Also I am looking for something with full-size SDHC slots so I can reuse memory cards, it would be great to have 2 SDHC slots like the N800. Another important factor is having some sort of useful GPS app like Meamo Mapper.

Any suggestion would be helpful!
Maybe you can be satisfied with your N800. You know, perhaps, that the "trick," if it's worth it to you, is to use your desktop computer to convert your videos to something like 400x240? See, e.g.,

It's a lower resolution, but played back with MPlayer, it fills the screen, and looks pretty good.
