I am not getting N810 because i already have bluetooth gps receiver and its too similar to the N800. Waiting for the next generation tablet (step 4 of 5). When the Nokia N810 sales start the OS2008 is coming for N800 users also (and apparently the OS2009 next year).

Does the N810 really have a transflective screen??

I just thought it was "better" in the sun than the N800

Yes it does.

It does, but as I've noted: it can be highly reflective in certain indoor situations.

I'm hoping to find a protective screen that can mitigate that.

I'm upgrading for sure if I can get the discount coupon.

that sounds good about the screen!

A transflective screen actually reflects back the sunlight through the LCD right? So it actually looks better in the direct sun?
so long as you don't get a mirror effect.

I guess I have to see how much pennies are left after the holiday season...
.. maybe tax return time would be my chance to get a N810

I got a $500 bonus at work this month... convenient that :-)

Just waiting for the release date...

A transflective screen is visible in direct sunlight (the one in my Palm T3 is visible _only_ in direct sunlight, if I turn it away from the sun it's hardly visible.. I've seen better transflective screens than that though.)
In direct sunlight view the colours may suffer a bit, depending on the screen. The single picture I've seen of the N810 (from thoughtfix) showed some colour, it looked quite good. I once saw one Garmin GPS navigator with an _excellent_ transflective screen. Wish my T3 was that good..

EDIT: Typo! 810, not 800 of course..

I'm planning to get an n810 if they take me at the developer programm.
If not I will buy a n800

At first I was all for upgrading from my 770. Now, I think I'm going to wait until after the holidays at least. With products like the new Asus Eee PC, and other MIDs/ITs on the horizon, I'll take a "wait and see" approach.

$450 is on the high side, IMO, so at the very least, I'll wait for the price to drop a bit.
