N900 versus N810

I see that Nokia advertises the N900 as a mobile computer, not primarily
as a phone. So I was wondering how the N900 compares to N810 in terms of
processing speed, wireless connection speed, and so forth, in actual
use.

Processing speed ? Fast. A LOT faster than the N810, as said, can't really
mention them in the same sentence. As for wifi, on my personal AP it
transfers data about 2x as fast as the N810 does (1-1.5 MB/s versus the
500-600KB/s of the N810).

After using a N900 for two days, I didn't want to even touch my old
N810.

I still use N810 for browsing lightweight www-sites (like the great
Linux Weekly News lwn.net one) because it has larger screen and for
some other things where larger screen matters less than performance
(my eyes are getting old...). It's also still OK as an extra
internet radio / mobile news video player.

N810 having more keys (4 rows instead of 3) also compensates somewhat
for the otherwise noticeably better N900 keyboard.

Otherwise, there's no competition.

N900 is a lot faster, but the screen is tiny.
