I found this price on www.engadget.com. But I can not find the price on Nokia website.

So is this price believable or not? When can it available in Canada?

I can't believe such a huge price difference between N810 and N800.

I think I'll have to buy the N800 after all, even though I'm always very skeptical of buying devices that have optimized versions in the market already.

GPS and HW keyboard are not really a priority to me, and with OS2008 coming to N800, I think I'll be very happy with it already.

$479? thats the price i bought my n800 here in the UK. looks like the n810 will cost $700+ at least
F**k V.A.T

Exactly.
I expect $700 in US and $800-900$ in UK
on first delivery of Nokia 810.

GPS + maps + navigation is still priced not less than $250-300.
Subtracting $300 from $700 you get basic price of $400.

But I still await Nokia 900 iPhone (3G phone + GPS + WiFi, Bluetooth, Wimax ) Linux based OS below $2000.

its not a cell phone.

it ended up in major retailers for face cost.

Nothing ever arrives to Canada quickly....

The 770 was $389 or something like that, the N800 was $399, and the N810 is $479, but includes the car mount in the box. I'd say the price has more or less risen ~$20-30 with each iteration. For what you're getting, I htink it's pretty dern cheap.

So $100 for a car mount?

It's definitely not cheap, or good value. With the iPod touch and the Asus Eee showing the way for bargain prices, Nokia is running the risk of pricing itself out of the market. Sure, the N810 is far more capable than the touch or Eee, but that means didley squat to non-gadget freak users. They just want to get online while out and about.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out. The 810 is a crucial step in the history of the Net tablet, and it might be seen in hindsight as the moment that Nokia removed themselves from the game by pricing themselves out.

Yeah, 80 bucks more expensive.
Components added: GPS ($30 retail), 2 GB flash (necessary for holding those maps, $20), slider keyboard (price unknown).

The retail price is comprehensible: indeed, it makes perfect sense, but I suspect it's going in the wrong direction for widescale adoption.

Don't forget that the maps will add to the cost as well (try buying them yourself from TeleAtlas, they're certainly not free). And the navigation software will cost something too. The increased price (compared to the N800) obviously makes sense.
