The N810 is wondrful for the wider market but its not for me.

The N800, while it was one of the fastest and most complete arm-based browsers, was still slow. This token upgrade of clockrate wont do much to help that. Other issues for me are:

Keybaord backlight?
USB Host capability
No extended battery
No native offline bogging app
No built in cell-data capability
Small memory/storage (is it 2GB internal?)
No multi-protocol IM client (although mebo is said to work)
Too high pixels per inch (200 is my limit)
No docking station
No vga / s-video out
No eternal mic input
No screen rotate (ebooks etc)

I know that requirement set takes me up to an $800-class device but thats my entry point for a mobile internet device so ill have to skip the n810.

I think the design is wonderfl though and i cant wait to see x86 based devices in this form factor and size in 2008 (mobile-itx) and 2009 (Moorestown)

Thanks to Reggie for doing a superb job on reporting. Keep it up.
