I'm still waiting.
Actually, I'm waiting for the RX-51 (or maybe a Pandora,when if they show up), not a cheap N810, but if they drop low enough, maybe I'll get both...

buy.com Canada has nothing of the sort. The cheapest place, after shipping and taxes, is still $350.

My rationale:
- I'm paying less for a new n810 than I did for a new n800
- I'm stepping up my hacking so a 2nd device with a hardware keyboard is nice
- There's no way an n900 is going to be less than $500, so what's another $220
- Maybe I'll be able to part with one and give it to my son (yeah, sure)
- I'm crazy
- ???
- profit

N810 vs. my N800s, the fantastic advantages look like:
- No FM receiver.
- 18/32 the storage space, and that requires buying a new cards. Or I buy (which I would, probably) a converter and still need a new card. (1x32 vs. 2x16 now).
- No D-Pad or menu key accessible without opening the slide.
- I get to buy and carry another adapter cable just to use my stock of USB OTG junk.
- Annoying and fixed camera placement.
- Apparently sounds a little better with high-impedance earphones I don't have or want.
- Has a (cooler) transflective screen, which is really only helpful in the big blue room, and largely mitigated by my Boxwave anti-glare protector. (It is cooler, though!)
- Oh, and it has a built-in keyboard, which is really the only reason I'm considering one. BT and USB aren't that bad, really.
And $220 is still more than I paid for my first N800 over a year ago.

I always love the profit part. What's that just above it?

I was hoping for this price (or $179 ) before Christmas but it seems like they're finally coming down. I might get another one for video calling.
