I'm right on the verge of buying either an N800 or an N810 but I'm curious to hear what peoples biggest gripes are with either unit. Be brutally honest!!

Apologies if this kind of thing has been posted here before!

I don't have many problems, but I do have a wish list:

Stereo audio input, capable of recording at 16bit/44.1khz.

500mA current supply for USB peripherals.

Position mic on right side, rather than center (for making voip calls without earphones/headset)

Removable camera.

Multi-touch, flush fitting, scratch resistant display.

Drivers for IVA and Power VR.

..and of course more CPU/RAM would always be nice

I keep having to reflash mine. Maybe I'm just dense and doing something wrong. But, my firmware keeps getting screwed up. Since, I can apparently count on reflashing at least every other week just to get it to boot again, the only apps I've been installing and using are mplayer and kagu+dependencies.

Does it have something to do with the battery dying while the unit is "on"? That seems to be the trigger, but I've no clue if it's the cause or just a symptom. And, it's primarily been since official SDHC support, after which I immediately switched to two 8g SDHC cards for storage.

I love my N800, and I wouldn't trade it for anything (Figuratively speaking of course. All obnoxiously generous offers will be given due consideration, I assure you.). I'm hoping OS2008 ends my suffering (dramatic, no? ), but as I've no idea what's really going on in that mysterious cloud of 1s and 0s, I've even less of a clue as to the prognosis with the O/S upgrade.

Maybe it's just my machine, maybe I'm an idiot, or a little bit of both. And, I wouldn't discourage others from getting one, in the slightest, since I still suspect "operator error" to be the primary cause of my woes, lol. But, you asked, so, there ya go.

I would like either a 3 megapixel camera with optical zoom or a 8 megapixel camera with digital zoom.
