Maybe I need a reality check. I have a perfectly fine N800 that I enjoy. There is a local selling an N810 for $150. Should jump on it or keep waiting?

Buy the N810 for $150 and sell your N800 for $70 = N810 for $80 :-)

I don't know, $150 is a great price! in fact, I've never seen one that low. whats the catch, is it used and in bad condition? If so, then your N800 is fine. Otherwise, if you have some money layin' around, and it's in good condition, then I think you should spring on it!

I wouldn't pay that if it is used.

Used in good condition. There are some scuffs on the bottom right corner of metal chassis.

For $150, find an N810 in "mint" condition.

Reviewing ebay, with the current n810 shortage, the current prices are around:

Used fair condition $165
Used Mint: $200
New: $250 (or higher)

N800's can be found for around $90 to $110

I just bought a N810 from an itT member for $150. IMHO it was a great deal and a very smooth transaction. (for me at least >> http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=305792&postcount=4 )

I have had an N800 since day one and am very happy with it. However, I use it in a work vehicle paired to a BT GPS receiver and it was a PITA removing it and packing another charger every time I wanted to use it for a week-end trip...

Bottom line. I couldn't be happier.

GPS acquisition is a non-issue as times to acquire are not much different than with the stand alone GPS, 16 GB micro in a mini adapter MMC can now be had for $50, and the N810 is smaller and easier to carry...

Looking at them side by side and the N810 makes the N800 look like an early 1960's transistor radio.

I am glad that your purchase turned out well! I personally am a big N800 fan.
