On the FM radio -- I realized to my horror that I had listened to the whole Economist just before going on a jog yesterday, so I was out of listening material. Then I remembered KUSC, a glorious FM classical music station (also available over wifi). It kept me going on the jog. Without the FM radio I probably would have aborted the jog altogether.

good point: the FM radio is at least free, when on the move, whereas streaming via a mobile phone obviously isn't, good point.

Just got my N810 today, overall I am very pleased, keyboard seems to be quite good or better than I thought, size is surprising even though I knew it was smaller than my N800, but when comparing the two the N810 is just so much smaller, think it is surprising it has a QWERTY keyboard and GPS but still managed to be so much smaller than the N800.

Slider is OK, not perfect and not bad, but a little on the loose side, though am surprised at how easy the slider works, was expecting it to be harder to open and close, overall the QWERTY keyboard seems ok to use, was expecting it to be worse, but the only keys I have trouble with is the TY keys, that seem little harder to press.

The screen is very nice, at first I was a little disappointed, since it did not seem that much brighter than my N800, then I remembered that the light sensor does turn down the light in the display when in low light condition, turned on some more light and then the screen was very bright, and the color seems better too.

Like the status LED, blinking slow green when charging, and it also has other colors for different tasks, very nice little feature, the pen seems a little cheaper made, but like the fact that it is longer, and for that reason better to hold IMO. Also the fact that the slider can work so you set the key lock to lock and unlock when you slide open/closed, very nice also something I am used to with my slider phones (N81 and E65).

Overall it is well worth the money IMO, have not tried the GPS yet, though not the reason I bought it, so don't really care if it is there or not, would rather have a full SD card slot or two like on the N800, but oh well you can't get it all, and one MiniSD is OK for me, just hope that we soon will see some 16GB miniSD or microSD cards.

Hmm now to the big question, keep or sell my old N800, think I will keep them both for some time, and see if I will get to use the N800, if not it will go up for sale in the future .
