I bought my n810 about a year ago for about $320. I'm looking to trade it for a very good condition (no scratches on screen) iPod touch 2nd gen.

I've kept it pretty much in excellent condition (I bought an 'Invisible Shield' and I've kept it in that since the 2nd week or so); I can guarantee the screen/body have no scratches. I never used the car mount and I have the rest of the original accessories, so those will be included. I can also throw in a couple of extras (I have the attachment used to attach flashdrives/hardrives and I have a 4 gb microsd card with the full range of adapters - mini, sd, and usb). I've had a lot of good experiences with the n810 (trust me, if you like linux programming, this device was meant for you). Even if you don't, the n810 still offers a great GUI and the very helpful community here at InternetTabletTalk will guide you through whatever you want to get done.

I've been a lurker at these forums ever since I've had my tablet, and in that time, I've done some really *cool* stuff (based on the guides found here), including:
- Using the dates application to keep track of events
- using the notes/sketch applications to jot down ideas
- Installing the pre-developed android version
- Running easy debian (and more importantly, open office -- lets you open microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. files)
- Using the n810 as a "screen extension"
- Controlling my computer mouse (and PowerPoint presentations) through bluetooth with BlueMaemo
- Using both the VNC and RDesktop clients to get remote access to my computer
- Running MediaBox/Canola media players (with a plethora of extensions)
- Using Streamtuner to stream internet radio
- Using the web browser and Orb to stream video & music to the tablet
- Using Evice (PDF reader) to do Calc homework
- Streaming music from my Vista Media center using MCEGuru
- Uploading content to Picasa/Youtube using SharePy
- Watching/downloading youtube videos into canola/mediabox
- Testing both Skype/Gizmo for audio/video chat (video only works in gizmo)
- Using phonelink to send SMS with my phone
- Using Pidigin with many add-ons to Instant Message
- using Dial Central to call with Grandcentral/Google Voice
- Using the mgCal home applet to keep track of my google calendar events
- Using the RSS feed reader applet (comes preinstalled) to keep track of technology RSS feeds
- Emulating the iPhone/iPod touch with the Maemo browser
- Playing games using the gameboy advance emulator

Like I said, I've had some great fun with the n810!!!! I'm only selling it now because I don't have time to experiment with it anymore. I mainly only use mobile gmail if I ever even use the n810, since I typically have my tablet laptop with me most of the time. The iPod is more suited to mobile gmail (since it has a lower resolution screen -- I find the high resolution screen of the n810 to be bad for my purposes). Thanks to everyone here that have made my experience a positive one!!! Don't worry, once Mer has gone through a couple more versions (and maybe when Maemo 5 is released) I'll be back!

If you're interested in trading an iPod touch for the tablet (or willing to just buy it for about $200 USD), PM me or reply below. I'll probably be posting this on ebay next week, but I wanted to give this community a crack at it before I did.
