Re: Too many choices! I want YOUR opinion.
 

Thanks, I watched a bunch more videos and read, so I think I will get a 810 just because I would rather have more power than a possible 6 gigs in the 800 but Thanks! It is still hard to turn down that 770 though :(

I do like the rotating cam but we'll see how things pan out.

Re: Too many choices! I want YOUR opinion.
 

what did you mean when you replyed "6 gigs in the 800"?

Re: Too many choices! I want YOUR opinion.
 

The N800 is great. The advantages N810 has over it are
-better screen
-thumbboard
-gps
If you don't need them or are tight on money, get a N800.

What?????? :eek::eek::eek:

You flipped N810 and N800!

Remember, N800 can have 64GB of memory cards, N810 can only have 38.

Re: Too many choices! I want YOUR opinion.
 

for me the physical keyboard + GPS makes the difference.

If you get a 770 you will regret it soon. The 770s have a design flaw that tends to cause the screen to die (look up: white screen of death or WSOD). Also people just aren't developing software for them anymore and they're slow. Spring for the N800. Look on the "for sale" section of this very forum. In terms of hardware the N800s are really solid because they have no moving parts except the stand, so buying a used one shouldn't be much of a problem. If you get a 770 you'll be tinkering with slow, crashy, 1-2 year old software alone, for a couple months until the screen dies and it becomes a brick. Ask for cash for Christmas, then sell some blood, mow some lawns, and put it towards an N800. :)

Edit: Also, note about the N800 vs N810: They have the same CPU and RAM. The N800 can hold two 32GB SDHC cards for a total of 64GB. The N810 can hold one miniSDHC or microSDHC, biggest size right now is 16GB + 2GB included storage. The big reason to go for the N810 is the keyboard, and the big thing going for the N800 is price.

You don't need the huge CUPS package to print, you can use either of two or three other small packages, e.g. the very small 'lprng' package which I made available (there's a link somewhere in another thread).

In any case, the problem is not to print, the problem, if you will, is that to print you need the file in a printable (for your networked printer) format already. The built-in browser and other applications don't have a print function, i.e. they will not format the current web page, for example, into a printable format.

If you, on the other hand, have postscript or pdf files or pictures (or whatever your printer can eat), then it's just a question of 'lpr filename'.

No I didn't. At least for me the only worthwhile upgrade in N810 is the better screen, but at the cost of the memory card slot, rotating camera, and better looks *cough* it's just not worth it. :)

Re: Too many choices! I want YOUR opinion.
 

actually one can have 32 gigs plus the 2 onboard in the n810 if you buy the adapter made by craves1 there is a thread about it in the N810 section

Re: Too many choices! I want YOUR opinion.
 

I had the exact same thought as you about getting the Nokia 770 to "figure it out" But it turned out that figuring it out wasnt very hard and the limitations of 770 drove me insane, to a point of wanting to throw it against a wall, I just got my n810 and oh my man, it is a god send. If i had todo it all over again, I would have gotten a n800, which is pretty much the n810 hardware wise, so far better then the n770, not much more and fully functional. Anyways, my 2cent, dont do it, you'll save yourself a headache, although I guess I can fully appreciate the n810.
