N810 prices falling...

I am very happy with my Nokia N810. I noticed that the price was starting to fall again.

Perhaps this is the reason why: RX-51/N900
Now with phone! Obviously, the Google Android is not the only Linux based phone from a major player.

I hope that the (non-phone) parts of the OS are backward compatible with the N810.

N810 as a real Linux machine

Now this 'box' is proving to be both a consumer internet tablet and a Linux machine:

• consumer: instant messaging, great sound including podcasts, video etc. I have now got maximise window and zoom hardware buttons off pat and scrolling by pointer makes browsing faster
• linux: shell, getroot, apt-get, ssh. Used ssh to install stuff ona nother machine

Great stuff!

Received my new toy this morning! Very small and a beautiful build. The screen is very clear.
Not sure about the built in keyboard - troublesome on a slippery surface.
A comprehensive set of internet type applications, with the browser able to cope with most formats.
