Not a bad deal IMHO. Buy it if you don't plan, or don't have the possibility to buy N900 (or it's too expensive for you). What for? It is still a good device, lacking only GSM module. I use mine daily.

Wait, they're still selling n810's? Hmm, might have to hunt one down to replace my currently dying one. Because I plan to keep using n810's until I can't get them anymore.

WAYYYYY TOOOO EXPENSIVE!!!!
Max I would pay for an N810 now would be about £50, they can be easily bought on ebay for around £100 about 6-8 months ago

Only you can answer the question about whether an N810 is worth it to you. Look at this threadhttp://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44285 to see what others are doing with their's.
I personally use mine daily, for Music, video, and pod/video/cast playing, browsing, twitter, navigation, mapping, email, IM chat.

There are other reasons for preferring a separate phone. To be useful, a phone has to be out where you can grab it, wherever you are. That exposes it to possible theft or damage. I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't put my computer at risk that way if I could avoid it. Also, PDA-like phones are just too darned big. (For some people, that is a reason to have them. Like shoes with 6-inch heels.)

I got a great deal on a used N810 for $150. Even though I paid full whack for a N800 when it was first available and now have an N900, I use the N810 every day and it is semi-permanently mounted in my car. Best gadget bucks to hours used ratio I ever had.
With used ones be prepared to shell out for a new battery. Most are rapidly approaching their EOL.
