Don't miss the iPhone comparison photos. With its hackability, n810 is WAY better. I can't believe they threw in a GPS too!

The iPhone will be hackable too, come Feb.

Keep dreaming kid!

But remember: you have to have a compatible bluetooth phone (and data plan) to use network features outside of wifi range.

- $479; more expensive than iphone

- phone not included!

- tethered data plans usually much more $$ than att/iphone unlimited data plan

+ GPS

+ EVDO/HSDPA (via whatever phone you have)

+ physical qwerty

+ linux/openness

The iPhone comparisons make me laugh since the N810 is not a phone!

The pictures compare form-factor, which effectively says: "n810 is as portable as an iPhone".

"... The iPhone comparisons make me laugh since the N810 is not a phone! ..."

Agreed. When I started looking at N800 tablets the connectivity meant that it was useful in areas with WiFi hot spots. Pretty useless for COMMs. The N810 makes a good computer alternative, but it's no phone substitute.

Just a personal $0.2: this device does not appeal to me for two reasons (1) it isn't a phone and (2) it is quite lousy computer due to a limited storage.

If it had more built-in storage I would love to use it as a portable travel PC so I could unload photos from my camera onto it while traveling, review the pictures, write emails, and use it as a GPS you can walk with.

Huh? You can literally dump photos to it and just upload them across the internet to your desktop, as long as you have a wifi connection (you mentioned writing emails, which would require wifi as well).

Wow, can somebody please send a copy of that engadget reader comments section to the museum of internet history? I don't want it to be lost to future anthropologists :-)
