Nokia’s N810 Internet Tablet quietly got a price drop this week from $479 to $389 MSRP. Math says that’s a drop of $90, making the lusted-after, QWERTY-wielding, touch-screening handheld even more desirable.
It also puts it on even footing with the iPod Touch, one of its only real competitors. While I’m a fan of the Touch, the N810 is now firmly on my super-portable radar.

Think they might have stripped out some accessories to make this reduction:
# Nokia Travel Charger AC-4
# Nokia Car Holder CR-89
# Pouch CP-223
Also, know that it does not support A2DP (Bluetooth stereo) yet. I mean after all we are just in 2008, maybe when Bluetooth 3.0 come we might have a N800-810 with 2.0 support.
Here’s how to get an even BETTER price, courtesy of Internet Tablet Talk.com. Use Nokia promo code SCENEZINE at the NokiaUSA store and receive an additional 15% off, making the Nokia USA N810 price $373.99 with free FedEx 2 day shipping. I know the code works in several Nokia country stores as well. I have an N810 and really love it. I hope the Nokia price drop makes it easier for others to enjoy the N810 as much as I do.
I checked the product page yesterday and it was indeed $389.99 including shipping (I have the screenshot), but this morning I noticed it’s up to $439.00. What a sketchy move!!
