Long time Nokia tablet admirer, finally ready to buy today.

Got two offers from Craigslist:
N810 for $250 (like new. 3 weeks old? replaced ipod-touch)
N800 for $200 (unopened new. with 3 month Skype)


Decisions Decisions... for a first time buyer, technically advanced buyer -- which one you recommend? plz help!

The N810. The keyboard is DEFINITELY worth it.

I second that the keyboard is definately worth the extra $50.

Thank you both, pinCushionQueen & Capn_Fish.


Considering recent price drop, isn't it $175 vs $250?

Expansys had it for $156 it seems.

Dang! Definitely go for the N810... Man I paid $370 for my N810 only a few months ago! I'm feeling ripped off now that the price is plummeting... maybe it's time to get a backup one? :P

Consumerdepot.com:

Expansys: product is not even listed.

Price is ONLY valid if you can purchase it. Buy.com $199 - $50 new credit card - 10% = $134 shipped. I bought one without the 10%. Currently same situation: Temporaily out of stock.

N810 all the way. I just purchased mine from a small marketing group of folks who were GIVEN the N810 by Nokia to use in their adverts. They never used it except for a couple days and had all the box items and such. No receipt tho as they were simply given the unit. Paid $325 for something less than a month old and barely touched. $250 is an even better deal!

Nope; you just need the WLAN ID, which is written inside the battery door and can be obtained from the running system anyway, failing that.

It will be from when Nokia thinks he purchased it, though, without a receipt. (Could be as far back as December-ish.)

I'm using my N800 again after mailing my N810 in for repairs, and I have to say... you made the right decision there, especially for just a $50 difference!
