I've dropped my N800 maybe about ten times from a height of about four feet or so. I do an extensive amount of chatting and the tablet is with me everywhere without a hard case... or even the soft case that came with it. (I lost it somewhere while I was moving a few months ago.)
If I haven't broken the screen yet, you don't have anything to worry about whatsoever.
Is it not a little awkward to require the keyboard to be extended in order to use the navigation pad? I'll have to demo it myself to make sure that's not a real usability issue before buying.
Nope, Its beginning to be too much like a PDA with the slide out keyboard, if I wanted one of those I would go for a T-mobile MDA or Amio! In my op. the touchscreen keyboard is fine for an internet tablet, and in my eyes, the 770 will always be the best :P
I've owned handhelds going all the way back to the TRS-80 Pocket Computer in the early 80's. Scratched and especially worn/scuffed screens are far more common than cracked ones (though that did happen to me once, with a Palm Tungsten T). Give me a glass screen any day.

LOL, I've still got mine (in working condition) and the manual as well. 4K of RAM and BASIC
I've been pouring through the threads here and have pretty much decided to buy the N810. I've been wanting a GPS unit anyways, and since I gave up my Zaurus I've been pining for a pocket debian. My birthday is next month and the family CEO has approved a $500 purchase order
