User Submitted Nokia N800 Portable Internet Tablet Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-06-01 one more cool Nokia I like a lot the Nokia N800 - it fits easily in a pocket, has a nice and stylish design, user-friendly interface, and a relatively big screen for its size. Plus, it does everything I need and allows for downloading custom maps and adding gps functionality. Date: 2008-05-31 simply the best small browser I've used....... I have now been using this for a few weeks...and love it. After using the Sony "mylo" for about a year, I finally had to look for something better. Haven't had the chance to use the new Mylo, but could care less. The N800 does everything I need, and more. My job revolves around the use of my company's intranet website, and the N800 allows me to go through and view all items and opening new windows with no problems. I wish that I could watch videos at higher quality so I could catch up with my sportscenter while in Europe, but I will survive. The browser is also rather quick in opening the items I need. The speakers for the media player are great. The fact that I can take the sd card from my camera, view the pics, upload them, and email them through the N800 is awesome. Don't have to lug my laptop through the airport and have to take it out every time I have to clear security. They have no idea it's a mini computer. Oh, and yes, the lettering can be a bit small, but you can zoom into the part of the page you are looking at, and increase the size of the lettering. Did I mention that it comes with skype? It does, and it's great at it. The camera for video conferencing isn't very good, but it's an added toy. Again, it's the type of item that isn't for everyone. Not a full laptop, not a cellphone, but as an internet browser that you can throw in a jacket pocket.....it's awesome. Even my wife, who thinks these are worthless toys, loves that she can run it through the bluetooth connection on my cell phone while I'm driving on long trips. Date: 2008-05-24 No Mac compatible! Cons: The new version of the software should be already installed. You cant install the new software without a pc (isnt it supose to be a wireless device??) No Mac compatible (!!!) No LAN port. Startup time. Pros: Price. Size. Good reception. I dropped it twice and still works ok. Date: 2008-05-15 Great N800 This is great gadget! Whole family uses it as internet terminal. It is very easy of use and extremely fast. Date: 2008-05-13 Cheap, Linux and expandable. I'd love to give the n800 5 stars but I can't because you just plain have to fart around too much getting it to do what you want. If you buy it for it's intended purpose (web tablet) it's excellent and definitely worth 5 stars. But why buy a device like this just to surf the web when it's so expandable? If surfing the web and playing music is what you're after then by an ipod touch as it's a much more polished device. If you add some software you can do much more. My favorites are Maemopad+, Canola (with youtube plugin!), GPE office suit and Erminig to sync to google calender, FBreader to read ebooks, Gourmet Recipe Manager, Maemo audo recorder, Streamtuner (for internet radio stations), FM radio (take that Apple), Skype, Maemo Mapper, Pidgin (IM client that does AIM, MSN, Yahoo, google etc..), Wizard mounter (gives me access to remote network shares) and gpodder (RSS news feed reader. Yes you have to actually install most of this and no it's never going to be as smooth and polished as an Apple device but still can you do all of this with an itouch? No. What I'd like to see is Nokia add all of this functionality and make it all work together seamlessly. Dare I say as good as Apple? Overall I find my n800 indispensable in daily life as it handles all my PDA stuff, Media player and internet tasks. If it were all integrated I'd give it 5 stars and recommend it to everyone. Oh, as soon as you get it upgrade to the 2008 firmware and get some flash memory. I have 32 GB in mine because my intended purpose was to replace my ipod video. Now I'd never be able to go back to watching videos on a 2.5 inch screen.
