Hi ppl,

I have seen the N810 model in the net for Rs.13,000 but it is available only in US...
Is there anyplace in India it is sold if so how much...

BTW is it any good or is it just a brick...

I had borrowed and used it for few days and I must say it is one of the best Nokia gadget. The UI is impressive and the response is quick compared to Nokia phones. However you must understand that it is not a phone but only an internet tablet so in terms of functionality its usage is somewhat limited.

Its good device which runs on some version Linux and this is probably the reason why it beats its Symbian counterparts hands down. Its available in Singapore at about the same price. Check Youtube videos for more details in terms of usability.

It runs on a custom build by Nokia code named Maemo Linux.

First and foremost, it's not a GSM phone. As a internet communicator, it's an awesome devide.
