And more....

Well it IS overpriced, even Palm had the good sense to cancel the Foleo at the imminent release of the E PC. This thing shouldn't cost more than $80 over the n800. Who do they think they are, Nokia the brand name means nothing in America.

Then why not buy the n800 and get on with it??

Mitch seems to be unaware of the N800. I'm thinking they should have been almost as prominent at the Web 2.0 summit as the N810s. That would have helped clarify things.

Also, based on some comments, the word of the bluetooth-phone-as-a-modem feature does not seem to be getting out. People scoff at the tablets based on disdain of wifi. Nokia needs to better emphasize the bluetooth capabilities while ubiquitous wifi is still a pipe(less) dream.

I tip my hat to Chris for standing up for the n810/n800
Cheers to him

and Mitch Wager is just an 'apple fan boy' i hope i phone falls in the Toilet!

He didn't review the n800 did he? Maybe Nokia should push the n800 to the faces of these blogger n00bs in these "media summits"?

If a blogger begins with "I don't understand this device", I dismiss his opinion right off the bat. In my opinion if they don't get it quickly, they are in the wrong business. And yes, that means in 5 minutes or less.

Considering everything that you get in the package, especially that you don't need some crazy subscription plan, the N810 actually an amazing value. The N800 is even *more* of a value.

It's unfortunate that the myopic nature of people tend to compare only retail cost and not consider the functionality or additional costs (if any). There is a large difference between cost and value.

YARR!!

Ca-puh-tin

Absolutely.

Putting the power of a low-end laptop in my pocket has immeasureable value to me.

I've actually traveled to business meetings overseas with only my N800 and handled almost everything with it. The only drawback I encountered was not being able to see my personal email folders using the Outlook web client-- and the latest version solves that (we just have not deployed it yet).
