I surprised no one has mentioned where the built-in microphone is now. See that microphone shaped divot between the home button and escape button? If that's the new location for it, then that means you might be able to hold this thing to your face to make voice-only calls (using the right speaker as the phone speaker). Maybe. Just a thought.

I'm actually disappointed by the built in 2GB memory. Why? Because my N800 already has that. And, with SDHC support, my N800 can do _BETTER_ than that with a 16GB card in my internal slot. That's right: the N810 doesn't give you better internal flash memory, it forces you to only have 2GB of internal flash memory (no more, no less). I think that's a bit of a let down.


Overall, the N810 seems to me to be a mixed bag. In order to do web surfing accurately, I have to slide out the keyboard (I heavily use the dpad for navigating in web pages). The stand is N800 style (a downside IMO, would have preferred a tilt screen). Still a barrel charger. No photo camera, just a chat camera. No possibility of 16GB in the internal card slot (only for the external card slot). No Bluetooth PAN support.

But, more memory, faster cpu, uniform thin formfactor (one of hte engaget galleries compares it to an iPhone, and it's basically close to the same thickness, just a little big bigger in length, I think), hardware keyboard with backlighting, looks like the GUI is improving, and the camera is no longer out on a little fragile (and, IMO, dorky) looking nub.

I'm pretty sure I'll be waiting for the WiMAX version, though.
