I suggest not only an n810 but an n800 as well...
the very different benefits of both become apparent once one truly mucks about and understands their unique abilities.
for example...
the n810 with its back lit keyboard...is handy for many os's , de's , wm's and apps that need that physik keyboard.
the n800 with it's 2 sd card slots and it's front facing speakers...is perfect as a media beast...music, film, audiobook....etc..

that is just a small example of a couple of their best attributes and uses applied to them. ...that are more practically and immediately applicable ...
there are others...
(But I will keep my post as brief as possible here and not consume a page...or pages ...as is my wont...)

As far as true daily drivers go...
If one were talking about a well built, and supported device with cel capabilities...
I have absolutely no comment to provide on that.
it would be pages long if I did...and there already is a thread on that topic.

If however one is talking about a truly flexible device..a computer...a tablet...that runs not just "a'" operating system...but can run many...
with so much to offer ...
still...
and so much to explore ...
still....
and so much yet to be created on....
still....
with a chassis that is great...
screen real estate which is great...
and so much more....
still....
10 years on...

then look no further....

as far as stability goes in o.s., ap, build and body...
well...countless things have and do go wrong all the time for n900 owners ..
the n8x0's were put together pretty darn good...
from bottom ..up....
I have never had one have actual problems for me...
and I have had and do still have quite a few n8x0's ...


I suggest finding one cheap on ebay...
or elsewhere...
buying retail is not a choice I would make when you can pick one up at more reasonable prices than amazon...
you could spend that excess saving on extra batteries...
or a solio solar charger...
or countless other accessories for your new toy.
