And not to mention the quality of the screen. The n810 doesn't scratch with normal stylus use (or any use for that matter); the n900 is embarrassingly easy to scratch.

But I disagree about WiFi. Here in the U.S., with or without a SIM card, the n900 WiFi is robust and fast, where my n800 and n810 are occasionally fickle.

Since I could care less about physical keyboards, don't get my started on virtual keyboards. Just don't, or I might start to cry.

And yes, that's the false advertising, they shouldn't have been able to call it a computer without some form of USB host mode. Not a big deal to me, but I know it's huge for plenty.
