I have an N810
I'm interested to see and use a good, fast word processing tool on my device (in the vein of softmaker's textmaker or full speed open office)
If that would happen, I would then be able to use that wonderful screen to its full ultraportable potential for my creative writing

n810, planning to use it for email, music, voip, maps, ebooks, feeds, pim (seqretary), etc. until it falls apart. nokia disappointed me, they should have provided an update fixing the email and mediaplayer bugs.

Good to see that we still have a substantial N800/ N810 userbase here!
Anybody feel like buying a spare N800 with two 8GB SDHC cards (original packaging too), black silicon skin, two power supplies and a car adapter, GPS kit (mount and external bluetooth GPS unit that communicates to the Wayfinder software on the unit)? Wayfinder is already registered to the N800.
PM me if you're interested in it. Feel free to reply back here in public if you can think of a good reason why I and my friends, family and associates should keep it around anymore. Mind you--I feel pretty let down by Nokia and the involved chip manufacturers and drivers providers.

I still have 2 N800's but they are not getting used as much as they once were. I stopped after the 800 and never went with the 810 (I was tied into a Verizon contract and liked their service). Still use them as a music streamer and sometimes surfing device.
I ended up getting a Moto Droid via Verizon (I have to say this quietly, lest I get attacked). I find that every application I used on the N800 has a counterpart on the Droid plus many other applications that I would have loved on my NIT. Yes, I know that I lost the ability to work at the root and am no longer on an "open source" device, but the darn thing just works, quite well, without any additional messing around.
I would love to do something to help extend the usability of my N800s. If there is any way I can help, let me know.

I think that all the updated and new apps which shipped with the N900 such as the PIM, media player, photo tagger etc could have been easily backported to the N8x0s. Yes I do know about Mer and Mer^2, but it's a big ask getting the community to push something out on their own.
I'm also slowly moving away from the N8x0s. I have recently swapped my Nokia 6220c symbian 3rd edition for a very cheap Nokia 5230 3.2 touch screen phone, which has now become my device of choice for listening to music/podcasts due to the fact that the phone works with the excellent AD-54 remote headset, and twitter/facebook with Gravity, and satnav with the free Ovi Maps with Navigation which has moved on so far from Wayfinder.
Next device is not until the autumn at the earliest, and may not be an N900 as originally planned, but a symbian or Android device.

That aside, it has managed to replace my N800 even though that wasn't the intention.

Additionally, I'm finding no shortage of support from Motorola, Google and Verizon to help keep my device supported (communications, updates and yes--even ADD-ONS!). Nokia has done an incredibly bad job of supporting customers that purchased their products and it leaves me frustrated since my initial impression was very positive and the potential is HUGE.
I held out for a long time to see if Nokia would produce something to replace the N800--and maybe THIS time they could treat us better. Alas, they did neither.
Don't feel like you should have to whisper that you ended up getting an Android. Nokia should probably know that there are those of us that really wanted to like them but they didn't care about the customer and the customer went elsewhere. Those are the hardest customers to bring back, by the by.

The N810 still costs more than N900, based on this.
