Since no one 
else has said it here : Welcome!
According to eBay the N800 is running ~$130 (used) and the N810 ~$185(used) I've seen deals on new 810s for ~$225.
Where do you envision using the tablet? Inside or outside ?
The only thing I envy the 810 for is the screen, which is better in bright sunlight ( 810 owners correct me
)
The syncher for me was the dual FULL size SD card slots. Especially as I had a few SD cards lying around. If you have mini-sd already, then this is moot
As for the OSK on the 800: If I know it's a short message, or search term in google then I use it. Otherwise, anything in xterm or long posts like this I break out the BT kbd or the PC at home.
GPS: Well that's a tough one. There are a large number of threads here about the good/bad aspects of the 810's gps performance...
I personally dislike the All-in-one thing....invariably I break one part of it and render the whole thing DOA.
Any way, whatever you decide, goodluck

I use OS 2007HE and it is stable enough.

Thank God!

1) Can I run the same OS and applications on the 800 as I can on the 810?
When I got the N810 I tried using various features alongside an N800 and everything ran at an absolutely identical speed and identical manner on both tablets.
They're pretty much the same device inside, it's just the external stuff that's different.

No you don't. The screens are exactly the same size.
