An N810 with wimax isn't for me, what I would like is an N800 with wimax. The only thing I care (a lot) for in the N810 design is the transflective screen.

I can't post observations until some time after testing. But-- I'm open to suggestions from posters here on what to try.

Do you mean using WiMAX as the internet connector? I have to find available nodes first. And even then, I'm currently not clear on the limitations there, access wise...

Yes, with WiMAX.
Limitations, access wise? Not sure what you mean there, could you elaborate?

I had a chance on a great deal on the N810, but after holding one I decided to go with the N800 instead.
Things I like better about the N800:
- Speakers fire towards the user instead of away in the direction of everyone else.
- 2 SDHC slots (I have a 16GB card in the internal)
- Normal/common mini USB port
- Directional pad reachable in its normal state!
- No pipe key
(but includes some weird money symbol I don't recognize?) - Flat and smooth, very awkward feel (compare to a SideKick/HipTop keyboard)
I already have an iGo ultra keyboard (Amazon, $30) and a bluetooth GPS (BT-GPS, Geeks $37) and I find them far more usable.
The keyboard can be used on your lap or desk, has a full set of keys in a touch-type capable spacing, etc.
The Bluetooth GPS can be tossed up on the dashboard (or window) where it will get a signal when the N800 is in the car (or airplane, etc).
While I'm at it... I miss the hard shell of the 770 on both of the new models! (I carry mine in my pocket and the "sock" that everyone hates saves mine from a scratchy death).

They obviously made only one version instead of country-targeted versions like most devices with keyboards.

Not much use here in the states... but the pipe symbol is invaluable to anyone familiar with the Unix/Linux command-line.
Even my SideKick2 keyboard has it (as did my SideKick 1 many years ago).
It just amazed me that they left it off, considering their primary market is us geeks.
