Hello,
I've been following the n810 for a few months now interested in its features. Lately I've seen owners here for example who are apparently no longer recommending the n810. The last thread I saw was concerning Flash update. I was following the Amazon's $200 deal waiting for a price-drop of a kind and suddenly, they no longer sell it (today). I then checked Newegg to see they also stopped selling it. My only option would be a used one I think as other deals are not as great as the Amazon's one. So, you owners, would you recommend buying an n810 now? Or, in my case, should I stick with my iPod Touch? Are the advantages of an n810 worth it to be practically obsolete?
P.S. I've been also looking to the Pandora as an option but the price is considerably higher. Maybe I should just stay with my iPod Touch already having office, media, browser, and youtube apps.

I personally wouldn't buy the N810 at this point, application updates have slowed, the community is restless for information and new hardware. I was itching to buy some new hardware so I just bought an iPod Touch which I am relatively unimpressed with, so I can see how the added power of the N810 would seem nice but the next iteration of maemo hardware is due out sometime this summer/fall and it will have a lot more capabilities.
If the new one comes out however and you still see a use case for N810 as it currently stands I would say do it!

I think the N800/N810 models are great, personally. They could be faster, but with tear as the browser, it's actually, in my opinion, very fast. It depends what you want to do with it. If you keep an eye on the N810's at Buy.com, you might see a low price return (they've been $200 and even $175 or $180). Alternatively, if you aren't jonesing for a keyboard, you can pick up a brand new N800 (as I did, for a backup to my unit) on eBay for $150. The touch has advantages and disadvantages -- you can find plenty of threads about that; use the Newbie link in my sig.
