This tightlipped approach is driving me nuts!
I'm currently wondering wether to get a N810 or not for a trip next weekend.
I like almost all about it, but i wouldn't mind a faster Processor (OMAP 3530 preferably), the screen interface issues? fixed and maybe an improved GPS.
I know i should buy the device and be happy that i can enjoy it now, but if Nokia comes out with an N900 in the next three weeks or so, i'm going to scream!

When, or right before a new product comes out the price of the old product goes down (which isn't good for amount of profit made on the old devices). Although if you're able to make a good deal it might be wise to go for it.
I don't think the N900 will soon be released. Why would it? They're still investigating what should be better in the N810 (see today's news on maemo.org), and there are no indications for such. Maemo 4.2 or 5.0 isn't coming out soon either.
The N96 however will be released soon; mid-septembre.
Competitors for N8x0 are also on the rise.
The N800 and N810 both have their advantages and disadvantages, while we have no clue what the strong or weak points of the N900 might be.
John: you were right about being suspicious that BlueTooth encryption scheme is broken. All protocols using LFSR as part of their encryption scheme (GPS, GSM, CDMA, BT, HDTV (DVB-T), DAB) are most likely broken. I stand corrected.

lighter
better GPS
replace yen, pound and euro symbol with |,{,}
microSD (although SD would be better)
processor/graphics upgrade
usb charging (yeah, I know there is an adaptor)
no cellphone (I don't want monthly charges)
rewards for programmers of awesome open domain apps
well, the last one could apply to all models, but it would attract attention.
