If I've figured right, a BT keyboard and GPS receiver would run about $150 bringing the actual price of an N800 to ~ $380.00 -- so, for another C note I could avoid having to have four devices to carry and charge!

I think I'm talking myself into waiting :)

Is the GPS on the n810 going to be crappy like the one on the n800?

I have a mio C220, and it is cheap and great. $140.

I just bought a n800 for $240 + $10 off.. @ buy.com...

I rather have that + my mio c220 for $370 then n810 that cost $500

There's no GPS in the N800, so I don't know how it could possibly be crappy... ;)

i have been looking at the 800 since it came out. I could not talk myself into it back then, but lately have found the need (want) for one. When the price dropped I waited to see what features came on the new model. I will use the gps but not that much, the keyboard would be nice but not enough to justify the price difference. That and the sdhc full sixe support made me pick the 800. I cant wait for it to arrive. Now time to read up on updating the device.
IDK

Newbie question: Is the GPS on the N810 an independent function that does not require wifi/bt for it to work?

yes. Infact when you purchase a license you just activate the built in features. So you dont need to use wifi or gprs or 3g.

I also found some information (maybe rumor) that the next gen Internet tablet is coming and I like the slide-out keyboard. But no one knows when will be the release. The price for N800 on ebay is about $250 + shipping fee.

So I just want to ask for advice about purchasing N800 now or waiting for next gen?
