Daperl, Benny, you are just bad guys, you know ? 
Or maybe jalous ? 
I finally won about Pan&Scan. He just like large size ...
... videos (and now we have an extra large picture with a projector, so, size doesn't matter anymore for him).
He anyway has the right to find any device ugly or not, and just used it to push me to buy the N810 because he knows how much weak I'm about this kind of toys ...
I'm happy to see that i'm not the only one that like the N800 look ! I too find it more interesting than its successor appearence.

As a designer I pretty much like n800. It's not that minimalistic stuff that Apple told you is cool, it's a real work of designers, they gave n800 an outstanding look and this dotted grill is absolutely adorable. BTW if you'll find leaked pics of new Nokia 5900, you'll see something similar

I understand - all you N800 lovers are the retro loving guys. While I do like retro styling and I actually do like the N800, but somehow I fall for sleek and slender looks.My partner in life always keeps an eye out when there are long legged beauties and slender bodies around - I meant the slender bodies of N810's and kick stand leggies of N85 etc.

Nokia's best recent design IMHO is the E71, it looks amazing in real life, very shiny, ceramic and sleek. I bet a lot of people bought it based on what it looked like in the shop. Nokia have taken a very nerdy form factor and made it look very sexy:

If they used this design style for a Maemo device, I think it would do very well.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

The N800 doesn't look cheap. It looks like a classy, high-end transistor radio, circa 1963.

Whahahaha !
Qole, maybe your partner-in-life is more sensible to design than mine !
But he/she should probably find another boyfriend ... because you don't share one of your two N800 ...
(Maybe i didn't uderstand well, is she jealous because you have 2 n800 and she doesn't have one or is she jealous because you cherish them more than her ?) In both case, you are the bad guy ...

I have both the N800 and N810 and the N810 is pretty but the N800 is the one I always use traveling. The N800 standard SD memory card slot lets me plug in my camera card, re-size a photo and send it off in an email. The FM radio is a useful addition.
The N810 is less handy. The speakers point out the side to disturb your neighbors on a plane or in a cafe. I've never got a lock with the internal GPS but my Holux bluetooth GPS grabs 6-8 satellites in the same location. The keyboard is difficult to use being offset by the navigation pad.
The N810 is form but the N800 is function.

As a communications device the N800 does look a bit odd though. The N810 is much more like a phone or PDA.
