How does the Edge 800 compare to the 810? Are the bells and whistles of the Edge 810 worth the extra money?

The 810 connects to your phone via Bluetooth so your data goes to strava or Garmin as it happens. That way the Guy you stole a Strava segment from can run you over before you get home

Sorry, I have not used the 810. The 800 though, works flawlessly with routes I obtain and download into the 800 from the bicycle site ridewithgps and routes I create on mapquest.

Surface is tablet like Ipad but razer edge is like a good laptop this is just a bit over priced but surface is more overpriced. The size u just get use to it if i had to buy it again i would totally buy razer edge

If you check an independent rating site, like tomshardware.com, you'll see the E8400 has an edge on the Q6600 in just about every category of application... and it's a few bucks cheaper!

thanks for your reply -did not think that the 8109 vs 8109s really meant anything meaningful . . .but 1 nit I do have is that I can't get the replacement outer foil for this razor - I work for ATT & with their coupon corporate discount price should be ~$15.00 according to Panasonic -wtg for 3 mos! Panasonic is supposedly notorious about difficulties in spare parts availability which will only get worse over time .. thanks again . .-G

The Garmin Edge is intended for cycling use. It has far more bells and whistles than a runner or hiker may want to use. Garmin makes a product for runners called a Forerunner worn as a watch and is less expensive than a Garmin 810. A hiker would better advise what is best to use for off-road hiking. I would not buy a Garmin 810 for running or hiking.

On the PLUS model ($299) you can, not on the base ($249) model. Check garmin.com for a great comparison of all their bike computers. The 810 is packed with features and has the touch screen. The touring also has the touch screen. I use ot for long bike trips on roads wher eI am unfamiliar, not around my town. Good luck and happy riding!

I can't compare the two, but reviews I read indicated specs for the 140 were better at the edges. I bought the 140 several months ago, and am very pleased with quality and speed.

I have the 7xrs model and am happy with its overall performance.Having said that, the 7491rs appears to be a impressive improvement over the xrs but with that comes a cost.

Anyone have ideas? I'm looking at either the newer 810 or last year's 1000 as well. Specs looks similar. Thanks.

Actually Cingular uses 900 also, the main difference is that the K800 has UMTS and does not have EDGE only GPRS, but even though you can use it in USA, just will not have acces to hi speed internet, also the K800 has a VGA camera in front for videoconferencing. UMTS is already running in some markets in USA but very limited. Get the K790, and yes it would decrease it's pricing in less than 6 months.

HM, did you ever get any good feeback to your dilemma? I am in the same boat now, debating between the 305 Edge and Forerunner. As a Mtn Biker (primarily) I'm leaning toward the Edge but they both have the functionality I need.

Hello Block, Thanks so much for the reply. i've heard the same things about the pixels not making too much of a difference after a while. the 890's wide screen and extra zoom are enticing! eek! still deciding but thanks for the response!

If you are in North America, get the K790. If you are in Europe, or Asia, get the K800.The K800 supports GSM 900/1800/1900, UMTS and 3G. The K790i supports 900/1800/1900 and EDGE. K790a supports 850/1800/1900 and EDGE.In North America we use the 850 and 1900 bands. So the K790a is the best bet. If you were to buy a K800, UMTS and 3G would be useless here.

FYI -- estarling makes a much better 8" screen with 800x600 nowadays. The wireless setup is still sub-par, but it seems they all still are. The online service is free, and is pretty decent. I have zero complaints. The new version really does have one of the best screens I've seen, and I saw the old 7" one, which was amazingly horrible.

This may not work on the Edge 810. It does work on the 800. I tried an 810 and returned it because the turn-by-turn routing provided by RideWithGPS.com TCX wouldn't work with the 810. The following is from the RideWithGPS web site on how to load maps. http://ridewithgps.com/users/115523 ................ After downloading, copy the IMG file to the SD cards "GARMIN" folder that was created earlier. The SD card can have multiple IMG files on it and you can choose between them in the Edge 800 configuration menu. I kept my names descriptive, "osm_western_us.img". VERY IMPORTANT: keep the name short and free of spaces or odd punctuation - underscores are OK for spaces. Once the file is copied, safely remove (right click on the icon in the lower right of screen for Windows users) the SD card from your computer. Insert the card and power up the Garmin. Go to the configuration menu, then System -&gt; Map -&gt; Map Information, and select the map type. Enjoy!

Well, the first and obvious difference is about $110. Second, the 851 comes with the wireless accessory kit to where the 850 has it as an additional add on. That and a slight difference in design, They appear to have all the same specs as far as functionality. I don't pay much attention to the freebie software they throw in with these things, but maybe that's part of the price difference as well. For me personally, the freebie software is free for a reason.

Very similar. The Bold has 3G which is blazingly fast which is great for internet and downloads. It is also built more solid and has a more sophisticated look. The curve 8900 uses EDGE which is fine for mobile browsing, and email. Smaller, more sleek. Same operating system, etc. Try both out in the store (Bold @ ATT, Curve 8900 at t-mobile and coming soon to ATT i think.) Technically the Bold is a better phone but I prefer the curve 8900 due to its size and the cheaper t-mobile plans vs. very expensive att plans.
