How do I get to the command line in the N810?
Can I define users?

Milena -

That really, really depends. What do you want out of a mobile device?

I would say - if you primarily consume content - meaning read, listen, and watch, then either device is good.

If you also want to CREATE content, then hands down, the Nokia is going to do the better job because it's accessible and modifiable in ways that the iPod Touch is not.

You know, I am such a layman that I don't understand half the things you talk about but you sure make it sound interesting. For the layman then, Is it a better buy than the Ipod touch? I'd love it if you could tell me. I'll just be using it for the basic stuff.

I will if I may provide the code I got my N810 with from my mate in the UK, Rowley: The code is DARKCOMPASS

15% off in the UK makes it cheaper than Amazon!!!! DARKCOMPASS works in the US too...

You've certainly got me inspired to play with mine a bit more.

Since you mentioned it being ok, I'll point out that I set up a simple URL redirect at http://www.nokiacoupon.com that will take you to an order page that if you enter in Nokia Promo Code ACCIDENTHASH you'll get 15% off the cost of the n810

Of course now I have to go play with mine some more!

If you don't care about the new features of the n810 (GPS & Keyboard), the n800 does everything the n810 does.

I was able to get an n800 from Dell for $200. The virtual keyboard works quite well, and you can pair it with a bluetooth keyboard if you need a full keyboard.
