I've got an N810 and here are my comments:
* The web browser is my #1 app, without any doubt. I admit that
sometimes it's too slow when rendering some pages, but after
they're loaded they work reasonably well, and the screen
resolution is great. I haven't used any other portable device
(I'm not counting netbooks here) which I liked better for web
browsing. In fact I used to have an iPod Touch and while its
browser is generally faster I _always_ ended up going back to the
N810.
* The IM and Twitter clients (Pidgin, Mauku). I use them a lot.
* The SSH client. I admit it's not intended for most users, but
for me it's a must, specially when combined with the hardware
keyboard.
* Skype / Google Talk. I don't use them everyday, but they work
fine and are great to have.
* I also use Modest a lot to read my IMAP accounts.
* I almost never use it to carry mp3/videos, mainly because I
really don't use portable media players much (Last.fm is more
than enough to cover my needs).
* Maps. I don't use GPS much either, but I do every now and
then. It's a nice addition, and Wayfinder and Maemo Mapper are
enough for what I need.
* PDF reader / Image viewer / Notes. I don't use them very
frequently, but they are essential nonetheless.
* The keyboard is good. It's also one of the main reasons why I
prefer the N810 over other mobile devices.
* And last but not least, the ability to have many apps opened at
the same time and switch between them (I didn't realize how good
this was until I tried the iPod Touch).
I'd also like to say that I use my N810 at home *a lot*. I like to
browse webs, read e-mail, etc., while I'm lying on the sofa, and I
find it much more handy than my laptop for that.
And that's all, I think.
