Funny, i only recall the N900 being a compatibility break.
The 770 to N810 issue was hardware performance, not platform breakage. The 770 was simply too damn hardware constrained compared to the N800/810 (basically a N800 with a keyboard, and just a single SD slot).
The N900 on the other hand introduced a whole new UI, QT as the primary UI framework, and beefed up the hardware on top.
Yes you could still attempt to run N900 programs on the N800, but they would rarely fit the screen etc.
