Will I buy the N810?
At first I was saying I'd skip it, but the more I look and think about it, I'm thinking I'll get it. The design is growing on me, and it just seems more and more like it'd be a win for me.
Plus, I just found out I'm getting a bonus at work for my November paycheck. Big enough to buy an N810 (plus some other stuff, so, no, I'm not blowing my whole bonus on it).
So, yes, I'm currently planning to buy one next month. Hopefully it'll have the apps I care about ready by then (openssh client and server, vnc viewer, pidgin, tasks, dates, IDEA or simple launcher, omweather, and cpu-statusbar-clock; in addition to the default apps that I use (notes, sketch, file manager)).

I seriously considered getting it but I think I'm going to wait. I'm a sucker for sliding keyboards but this one doesn't look to slide out enough. And moving the Dpad was a bad idea.

i am certainly on for the n810, i skipped the n800 and stuck with the 770, but the slider kb and good looks have sealed it for me.

Nonetheless I too join the ranks of those now eager not just for the new OS, but for the new device as well. Get this...my N800 will be my 'at home' device, and my N810 will be my 'on the road/at work' device. How geeky is that?Dang, I hope this admission won't disqualify me for the discount

I've been thinking about getting the newest Apple Bluetooth keyboard as well. Did you have any problems setting it up with the N800?
BTW I use it a lot now for writing, which is interesting because when I bought my N800 I didn't think it would be useful for that...the form factor seemed too small. But, in fact, it is N800 ideal in ways that I never expected...here is yet one more!

Bundled, yes, crippled, absolutely. Costs more for voice & routes and stuff I believe.
Which is funny 'cause MaemoMapper just used Flite for text to speech. But anyway...

a) I don't really care about the GPS part, so I wont be upset if its crippleware
b) As long as I don't _have_ to enable it, it wont affect my buying decision ... I only care if it's going to require me to enable it when I don't plan to ever use it.
c) $40/year is chump change.

No one is forced to enable the paid services. You can just use maps alone if you like.

(I had bought a Freedom Mini Duo bluetooth keyboard on ebay for under $50, so that I'd have an almost thumb-size keyboard, but it doesn't want to work with my N800 ... it works fine with my mac, but not with my N800; doesn't give me high hopes for the Freedom Slim bluetooth keyboard working with the N800)
