In Europe this will sell for about 330EUR, roughly the same as the N810. But, it will be a much more versatile machine.

HP makes good devices. From what I've seen so far, I'm impressed by the HP210.

But it depends upon what you need to do. If PIM functionality is a requirement, the Nokia is not the best choice. Native PIM functionality isn't really there yet. (Though you can run the Access Garnet Virtual Machine and get "oldstyle" Palm PIMs with a quirk or two.)

If PIM functionality isn't a requirement, I'd go with the Nokia. Of course, I'm biased: I vastly prefer Linux under the hood to Windows Mobile.
