Quick note: N800 will get a new release along with N810 and they are
fully compatible (i.e. Chinook) from the applications point of view.

N800 lacks the GPS and keyboard, but software handles this, I think
you should be able to use BT GPS and BT keyboard with N800 and the new
SW  works with them like they work with the N810 builtin HW.  I'm not
involved with these components so it would be good if somebody would
verify this though.
