"Loved it, but one big problem"
Pros: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, open source OS with all kinds of 3rd party apps
Cons: Didn't like to turn on
Summary: First the good, then the bad.
I purchased the N810 online and loved it the second I got it. I like the GPS feature, but I believe it is $130 for 3yrs of use. I also had to update the OS to activate the GPS point to point directions. No big deal. Connected to my cell phone via bluetooth which allowed me to use my cell as an internet connection as well as stream audio and video files off it. Also no issue connecting to WiFi. Installed a 3rd party video player with codecs and it played everything I wanted without issue. I loved this thing.
So why the 3 in my rating?
One was at times it was slow. Didn't handle multitasking too well. That wasn't a big deal. The problem I had was if I used it for more than 3 minutes and turned it off, it wouldn't turn back on. I would have to pull out the battery (which is held in place by a cheap metal backing) and put it back in. Then hope it would turn back on. Sometimes it worked the first time and sometimes it didn't. Looked online for this issue and it seemed I wasn't the only one with it. Also, there was no known fix. I got it on a Friday and as much as I liked it, it was on its way back to the retailer Monday morning. I got the feeling this was a bigger problem or known issue because the online retailer wanted to do a refund instead on an exchange.

From my guess you weren't using the Diablo firmware. It made everything a lot more stable, plus to make it faster, adjusting the virtual memory would've been a good idea. Without it, it's like running a linux system without a /swap partition, or Windows without a swap file. Not good.
