I have to admit that I agree. I rarely open my keyboard. But, I think this is mainly due to the fact that the keyboard is much to "squishy" for my taste -- doubled by the fact that it is behind the plastic covering of my case.

Well, the buttons are ok. They are way too small for me however. And I just can't stand the 320x240 display =(

Keep saying stuff like that, guys. I need to keep justifying the fact I never got an N810, just kept using my trusty N800...

You are not missing that much, really. To be honest the transflective screen and keyboard (warts and all) were the only worthwhile additions. The ambient light sensor doesn't work too well and there are entire threads dedicated to the performance of the built-in GPS. But you get to use two cheaper & higher capacity SD cards, mini-USB connector, FM radio and a webcam that rotates :-)

N800 forever!
Just one rant: why did they choose the strange curved profile???
There are 3600mAh batteries for the N810, but we N800ers can't have a Superbattery(patent pending ) because of the awkward profile and the slightly curved battery cover...

did you guys read what i read? some nokia official denying that they would release an android phone... quoting inaccurately from memory here, and translating at the same time; 'because they were too heavily invested with Symbian to come out with an competitive UI'...

Maemo?

Wouldn't that be an N1600?

I occasionally slide open the n810 keyboard to use it as a thumb rest, but mostly I just dream of ripping it off the device.

I like the N810 keyboard not because it's fast*, but because it saves screen state.

*But it is faster for me, since I never got used to onscreen keyboards... I still think Graffiti2 is the best onscreen input method ever seen.

It's particularly an issue when you're doing something like VNC ... where the virtual keyboards have limitations (thumb keyboard blocks the view of the screen entirely, I don't know if the stylus keyboard even works with vnc-viewer, and I never tried the handwriting input; plus, the enter key never seemed to actually work properly).

The physical keyboard basically made vnc-viewer usable.
