If the N810 ran Windows Mobile so that it could take advantage of the wealth of excellent 3rd party WM apps, it would be a killer machine. The *concept* of the Advantage is great, but the price and execution leave much to be desired.
Yes the Advantage is expensive and that was my main problem with it. But this summer I bought one from E-Bay. I payed roughly 400 EUR which is about the same as Nokia N810. Yes I know it's not fair to compare a new Nokia with used Advantage, but as far as I'm concerned Advantage has couple of features that put it well above Nokia. Mainly the built in 3G this alone makes it much more usable than a device with only WiFi. Add to this an 8GB drive, a lot of software and Exchange integration and at least for me Nokia is not a contender.
