We got the dummy version in today at work today. It feels extremely cheap. I know the working model will be slightly better in terms of build quality but from what I can tell so far, by the feel of it its not worth the $200 3 year pricing that was leaked today. Be sure to get an Otterbox case if you plan on buying this phone.

The physical specs look the same as the 9800 so the real ones can't be any different than current 9800 - no more or less. I don't find my 9800 build quality to be cheep.
What the press this morning said was that the processor for the 9810 was beefed up compared to the 9800. The 9810 has a higher resolution screen and can record and play HD. With all that the battery appears to have the same capacity, but the specs say it has more battery life (talk, standby life etc.) Must be a mistake as to battery capacity.

I just got a New 9810 and I think the build quality it great. I think stylish metal phones are premium quality. The processor is 2x as fast as 9800 and it is 4g..hspda capable. The screen is high rez and uses the new type lithium ion battery. Really like it so far!
