Buy the Nokia n800 or n810 open source internet tablet. on Yedda

Buy the Nokia n800 or n810 open source internet tablet.

If money wasn't a consideration, would you rather buy the nokia n800 or the n810?

I'm not interested in an iPhone or iPod touch. Open source is my preference.

I lost my nokia 770, so I need to get a new one. I was really satisfied with the 770, but buying it used seems foolish as the OS version is no longer supported.

I mainly used it for email, quick web browsing, rss feeds, lite gaming, and videos.

Or is there a better internet tablet out there?

Money aside, its a though call since in the Nokia N810 some features were added and some removed. According to this article at Wikipedia, the added features of the N810 are:

Sliding Backlit Keyboard
Front facing web cam (good for video conferencing)
Ambient Light Sensor (good for automatically adjusting contrast and brightness according to the current external lighting)
Integrated GPS
Sunlight readable transflective display

The removed features are:

Two full sized SDHC card slots - The N810 uses a single miniSDHC card, so if you have such SDHC card you won't be able to use these cards.
Pop-out rotating web cam - I'm not sure this is an issue since they have added a front facing cam.
FM Radio Tuner

All in all, other than the FM Tuner and the change from SDHC to minSDHC it seems the N810 is much better in terms of features (at least in my opinion). If you don't mind not having an FM Tuner and you don't mind getting new miniSDHC cards to extend its memory the N810 would be a great choice.

This what a great answer! Sometimes it's hard to compare technical specs for gadgets, but this was by far one of the most clear explanations I have ever read! Thanks.
