Wow. This probably isn't exactly what Nokia wants to hear, but the N800 is looking better and better. Though I was an advocate of the sliding keyboard, and can see how the GPS would be useful, I don't think I could justify spending nearly $500 for the N810 when the N800 can be had for under $250 these days. Of course, as a poor student, I don't know if I'll even lay down the $250...been following the NITs since they came out, but haven't taken the plunge yet.

So, let me see if I have this straight:
OS2008 will enhance N800 by:
-bringing clockspeed to 400 from 333
-including Mozilla-based microb browser with Flash 9 and AJAX support
-new maps application plus free download of map data (though still have to pay for routing service- Wayfinder)
-possibly bring USB on-the-go, ie. USB host functionality


Not too shabby.
