Good plan, with the N800, at least no one will be trying to watch videos in the police car 
(As for me, I much prefer my N800 over N810, except for lack of keyboard. Ah well, bluetooth works for me)

It just seems strange that any police department would try to use an internet tablet over a full blown computer - even if we are talking about Germany. Even if they did want to use N800 for the start, since they are already hard to come by, why would any company continue to cling to them. You know they are going to be obsolete soon, why not find a viable replacement before you buy the last 20 units.
Personally I think it is a hoax - it sounds too good to be true.

Actually, being part of the great global bureaucracy and the way they deal with research projects, I can fully understand the attempt to obtain state of the art 2007 equipment.
You put in a proposal for funding a research project based on equipment just introduced (Jan 2007) it crawls it's way thru the bowels of government and gets funded in late 2007, by the time you really spin up the project it's April 1st 2008, the WiMax version is introduced and it's hard to find an N800.
State of the art technology research in government is like hunting birds. Unfortunately the government funders think it's like hunting farm raised turkeys, when in reality it's more like hunting snipe.

Hi all, thanks so far for the much response. We have about 250 offers and need some time to select 20 of them (favoring by shipping costs). The selected will get a response on monday.

Well it's good that there has been further communication from them. I guess it isn't a hoax. Man I wish I was lucky enough to get in on this!

Basically they need N800's and will trade for new N810's!!
