I've got a Nokia N800. Much less expensive than the N810, but 810 has some things 800 doesn't. Battery life is from 1 day to 1 week or so depending on how I'm using it. Wifi reception is the best of any device I've used. 2 SD slots that are SDHC compatible so plenty of storage. Fits a jacket or shirt pocket just fine. I use GPE calendar, todo, timesheet; camera, gnumeric and Maemopad+ daily. PDF viewer occasionally. Am very happy with it. Look forward to getting a bluetooth keyboard (perhaps iFrog). One regret is that I didn't put a screen protector on right away. Now has a scratchy feeling place on screen where I write the most. Oh, and the hand-writing recognition works much better for me than Palm's Grafitti 2 does. One gotcha to watch for is that Maemopad+ db main table data is lost if the device battery runs out with the application open. In my case I was able to recover the db with data from its backup table using a cli sqlite3 client.
