The whole thing is about rewarding Fellows, and I think the points raised about rewarding them with non-free software is pertinent. Given that Fellows rewarded with N800s will be _paying_ for them, it puzzles me why it can't be made clearer.
And also, why one have to donate 120 EUR to FSFE in order to have "the opportunity to help the N800 become a full Free Software device"? What's the point here? FSFE is collecting money from people who what to contribute their labour?
Obviously, this is just a distribution of shiny gadgets formally camouflaged as free software development activity.
