Nokia N810 Announced; My N800’s Arrival Imminent

On the very day that my Nokia N800 Internet tablet is scheduled to arrive arrived on my doorstep (according to UPS.com), Nokia announces its successor, the N810. It even has a built in keyboard:
The most striking feature of the new N810 is the slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a feature that allowed Nokia to clean up and slim down the device’s look and control layout. The tech specs indicate that the device includes an ambient light sensor, which suggests that the keyboard is back-lit.
But it’s a tiny keyboard. I’d almost prefer a fold up bluetooth keyboard with full size keys. I got a pretty killer deal on the N800 through Buy.com (thanks for the heads up, Tom): $230. I don’t feel too bad about having the older model, since the new one is $479. I just wish I had it for my California trip last month.
Update
Typing this from the Nokia. What a pain in the junk. Must. Get. Bluetooth. Keyboard.
