In terms of features, it appears the 820 does everything the 1000 does and more but the 1000 has the bigger/more-detailed screen.
dcrainmaker is a good source for information about the units (but he hasn't done the in-depth review of the 820 yet).

The interface of the 1000 isn't really more complex. The big advantage of the 1000 is the bigger screen (which has more pixels), which is useful when using maps.
(Sometimes, Garmin makes things less complicated by removing useful options.)
I've read the DC Rainmaker 820 article and I missed mention of phone/text notifications. Thanks for the confirmation.
