Nokia N810 is released...
N800 + slide-out keyboard + GPS.
These things get better and better.

Not as good a price as the old Tiger Direct deal, but the shipping is cheap:

I think the N810 is coming out mid-November. I'm thinking I'd use the built-in keyboard, but anyone use a Bluetooth keyboard with a N800? Experiences?
Also, I notice the N810 has 2GB of internal storage and one MiniSD slot, whereas the N800 has minimal internal storage but 2 SD slots. Sounds like one makes a tradeoff: GPS + keyboard + clocked a bit faster than the N800 (though they say the N800 can be reclocked at 400 MHz) + slightly lighter but minus some storage capacity.

I use a Dell-branded bluetooth keyboard with my N800 and it works great - the N800 automatically detects it when I open it up and I just start typing. A built-in keyboard definitely wins from a convenience viewpoint but this factor alone won't get me to upgrade at this point.

I got myself an N800 last week (for around same price as the 770
). When I had one earlier this year it didn't impress me, but the changes they made to the OS are just awesome.
1) I dumped Opera and installed Mozilla, MUCH better
2) Put Rhapsody on it as well as the Canonla media player (Canona doesn't work at the moment though).
Loads of other apps on it, there are quite a few good quality repositories out there if you have one of these.

Bwahahahahahaha!
My N800 arrived today. About $240 from Amazon.
Mozilla on the N800 so works with Google docs. ^ First mobile browser I have seen that has.
Thanks Scott, this is fantastic!

After playing with the 770 for a couple of days, it's an impressive little machine.
But it just isn't going to work for what I need it for.
The seller will take it back for $20 less than what I paid. But if anyone would like to do better than that, PM me. (I got a good price)
