Could this be the calm before the storm? The N810WME was announced on April 1st. Could this be the magic date the N900 is released on?

I'm just about to purchase an N810, but my gut says wait a wee bit.

What do you all think? I really need your help!

YARR!

Cappy needs helpy
If the prices have soared, maybe wait -- I'm sure they'll drop back to ~$210 when the RX-51 is announced, maybe even down to $190. I don't think I'd go for an N810 if I thought it would hinder my ability to pay $500 for an RX-51 when it comes out, but I did, despite having enough N800s to keep me happy, spring for one at $219, and I'm not entirely sure I disapprove of that purchase. (EDIT: What I mean is, I'm not sure it was stupid, because there was no way for me to really try an N810 without risking some money. I am sure that, already owning my N800s, I wouldn't have bought it if I knew what I do now; if I were starting with no N800, though, I'd go for an N810 over an N800 at current prices, because I do hack a lot, and the keyboard's good for that.)

I'd bet against April 1 specifically, but it could be tomorrow, or it could be 3 months yet -- and once it's announced, we still don't know when it'll ship.

The next device isn't coming on April 1st. They haven't released the Beta SDK yet. The most likely release date is this Summer.

If you've got the cash, get the N810. Its a great device

(disclaimer: I don't own an N810, I own 2 N800s)

Umm... yeah, see my clarification.

If it doesn't make sense how you could consider a purchase you wouldn't have made if you'd known more to be non-stupid, think about college tuition for a moment.

I really do like it, and I'm working on a review now, pending a little testing. Would you believe, I've had the N810 for about a month, and still haven't done an audio head-to-head?

Thanks for the input guys/gals/guals.

I have been thoroughly convinced that despite speculation of the release, this would be a great product to buy. Having had the opportunity to use the N810, I know I'd love (and have MANY uses for) it regardless of weather a new version came out or not. Of course, the ideal-consumer in me was weighing perfect-substitutes, phantom or otherwise.

But as fate would have it, on this cold Canadian morn, I am having trouble getting in touch with a seller that has the one I would like to buy in stock. I'm prepared to purchase this unit today, so hopefully I hear back. If I don't hear back from this gual, I'm going to have to wait another week (at least) before I move forward.

I've got both fingers crossed!

YARR!

this is an optional plugin upgrade.
you can just slide out the microwave unit and put in your expresso maker.

I'm still waiting for the attachment that will allow you to use it as a phased-plasma rifle in the 40w range.

No espresso? Oh, well, I'll have to wait for the next generation.
