I have tried a 16gb microsd card in my n810, and it works great. I do wish you could put in 2 full sized SD’s, but it’s pretty squeezed for space. At least Nokia put a full sized audio jack so I can use any headphones with it. I’m assuming that any microsdhc card will work, but not many site’s mention this, just say, “8gb max” or whatever the biggest card is at the time on the market. The 16 works fine in my sansa e280 too. But I do recommend Kingston over Sandisk, the Sandisk 16gb I had suffered irrepairable damage the first time I tried to load it up with songs. But the Kingston hasn’t had any issues, and performance seems better than the Sandisk’s I’ve tried (most of the microsd cards I’ve bought up till the Kingston were Sandisk). I copied the 256 gig partition from the compressed flash to the current 8gb microsd I have in there, and the unit boots faster, and apps seem to run a little faster, when accessing memory. Was pretty easy. http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Maemo/KDE4_on_n810 has a great console utility that automates the whole formatting your microsd or minisd to ext2 or 3, not sure which, and cloning your 256 flash partition to it, using the whole card as root filesystem. I guess you can do it yourself to make it as complicated as you like, setting up different OS’s on each partition or whatever. n810 is a lot of fun. The fold out keyboard is very useful in some situations, but mostly as an alternate to the virtual keyboard/handwriting input. n800 would be a good buy if you don’t need gps or the fold out keyboard, and probably if you like videoconferencing being able to change the camera angle. I have still to this day (owned n810 for like 2-3 weeks now) not been able to convince anyone to install gizmo or try video conferencing with me.

Nice post but out of date. You can get 32GB SDHC cards now and put two of them in the N800, giving 64GB total, compared to a wimpy 10GB (one mini/micro sdhc slot with 8gb, plus the internal 2gb) for the N810. So the N800 has much more capacity if you want to use it as a media player. On the other hand, the N810 has the hw keyboard, gps, and 3600 mah Mugen battery available. I keep thinking of buying an 800 primarily for music playback, on the other hand the N810 with some gps maps would be useful when driving. I wish they would make a unit like an EEE PC, with a more usable keyboard, bigger screen, real USB ports, and large battery, but the low power consumption of the N800/N810.

@noble, no FM on N810, sorry. FM on N800, though, simply rocks. More information: FM Radio on N810 N800 vs N810 or Who Should Consider Buying Nokia N810?

Mugen Power now carries 2 types of extended batteries for N810: 1800mAh and 3600mAh. They are well known for good batteries, I personally used 2 PDAs with their extended batteries and all worked fine. here are the links: Nokia N810 1800mAh battery Nokia N810 3600mAh battery The standard BP-4L is 1500mAh, so even the same size 1800mAh Mugen gives you 20% more, sometimes that is just what you need! :-)

Okay – Get this right – Nokia n800 and n810 have the same processor. The difference is in the clock speed. In OS2007 it is UNDERCLOCKED (330MHz) (people were saying it was at clock speed which the native clock speed is 400 MHz) and when flashing with OS2008 or running OS2008 the n8*0′s run at 400 MHz.

- n800 has FM Reciever
- n810 has FM Transmitter

- n800 screen is not viewable under sunlight
- n810 screen IS viewable under sunlight

And since some of Nokia’s phones share the fixed camera such as all n95 models it must be alright.
