Lol yes I am - but I want my OWN! lol (But thanks for the offer though ;)).

Maybe we need to plan a N810 play-date if we got some South Bay users :)

Dunno if this will fit as consolation (it usually doesn't, but it doesn't hurt trying :D)

I live in Brazil and they were selling the N800 for BRL 400 for a short while. In Big Mac terms, it would be like they were selling it for $99.

Some people waited 35 DAYS for theirs to arrive.

Some people got a defective unit delivered after those same 35 days.

More than two months waiting, and nothing :(

Anyways, in the US things shouldn't be so bad. You'll forget all about the tension ur feeling when u have the little beast on your hands ;)

You're right.....

Now I'm mostly whining for buying a used-like-new for $190 when buy.com is selling brand new ones for $179 :(

Then again, one thing about technology and prices I've come to learn is that you can't win them all :)

I bought my spared one not too long ago from buy.com 200+tax+shipping (~230)!
I would not sell it back with that price even!

I've had the n800 for a while, then saw that the n810 was down to 199 on buy.com. But I knew I couldn't stand the wait (I was planning a trip to the city that weekend, and needed the "daytime readable" display & gps). So I drove down to TigerDirect and over-paid by $30 or so just to get it the instant I laid down money. Long story short, the display works about as I expected (great depending on the angle of the sun, terrible during overcast conditions), and the GPS seems to be giving me the same problems everyone else was having -- 2 hours trying to get a fix, no dice. Other times it works great. Seems to get a fix fairly quickly sitting on the dash of my car, but when out hiking (clear sky) it never gets a fix.

It's funny, how I can sit on a purchase decision for months at a time, but as soon as I fork over my credit card info I want it NOW.
