I would not run it on my road bike due to the size I'm going to mount it landscape mode on my MTB as a small screen is harder to see when shaking around on trails.

It's not for me... and I don't have high hopes for the device in general, the 810 is still buggy beyond belief!
As for the new features, too little too late on the segment stuff and the mobile phone linking... that is absolutely what I do NOT want
It is too big front on, although it is shallower, so might have a lower frontal area on the TT bike, but that problem could be solved with a custom mount on any Garmin, to get the device hidden behind a forearm or something
People will vote with their wallet I suppose.

Tempted to be honest, I have had the 810 for a year now, and whilst I have not had the problems many others have had, I think the 810 screen is a little small for my taste. My 810 would be recycled to my niece, she is well into training. I just like the latest tech ;-)

I dislike the move towards phone integration of any navigation device....seems totally counter intuitive to road safety.
Do like wifi though, be good to upload to gps sites direct from the device.
Bigger screen size also attractive, but just not enough to make me reach for the credit card.

I'm happy with the 200
I've been on just two rides with it so far, guess what? It hasn't crashed and navigating works perfectly. I can't quite believe it, a new Garmin device doing what it's supposed to do 
There are some minor bugs, but nothing serious. I really like being able to create a course while on the go.
Best place for information on this device is the Garmin forum, there's only a few of us who have one so far, but that will soon change.

Ive not got round to grtting the 800 yet 
Im still running a 310 or something?
Do love the bigger screen on the 1000
Gotta say though, it just looks ugly mounted on bars/stems, as do most bike exceseries, hence my garmins are always in my back pocket, throw them bar mounts in the bin!

I've been tempted to upgrade my 200 for some time but it's never crashed or let me down and does exactly what I need it to do: record my ride! I can view all the gumph later on Strava when I get home!
A bigger screen is just going to encourage someone like me to glance at it too much!
