User Submitted Nokia N810 Portable Internet Tablet Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-04-10 small screen hunt and peck on screen keyboard. Gives you a headache. 7" screen better. Date: 2008-03-31 Great device, but needs just a little work... I've had the N810 for almost 4 months now. If you're unsure what it is, it's just like a little microcomputer. The Good: The web browsing is fantastic, really. Runs smoothly and efficiently. The media player works great. Sound quality may not be the highest *with* earphones on, but it's pretty close. The pull-out keyboard illuminates if the room you're in is dark. Not to mention that there actually IS a keyboard. Touch screen is really sensitive and responsive. The screen is bright and colorful. Slick size and design. Comes with a lot of little apps. Most are useful. Spots WiFi hotspots quickly. OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE! YEAH! DIE APPLE! The Bad: The keyboard could've benefited from another milimeter at the top. IT may not seem like a big deal, but there's a little lack of space there, making it cramped. The speakers are kind of tinny. The camera is horrible. The GPS is a joke. For those that are used to the whole web page appearing instantaneously, the Nokia takes about a second or two more. The fact that it has only one memory card slot, and that it's MicroSD (or Mini? I think Mini). I got some adapters, but it's still kind of annoying. All in all, it's a great device with, yes, flaws, but flaws that you can work around. If you're looking for portable internet and media access, get this. It's perfect. If you need or a cellphone or PDA thingy, look elsewhere. Date: 2008-03-29 Internet anywhere This device is wonderful to work with. If your primary goal is to surf the web from anywhere with a full browser than this is your device. Is it perfect? No but its very close. Some things to note that many people seem to be asking. Does it support flash? Yes it supports flash however on a site that includes a lot of javascript and or images the video playback is choppy at best. If you are looking for a flash movie player this device isn't for you. Does it support the latest web 2.0 (ajax)? Absolutely and does it very well. I am able to view any site with little to no problems rendering. The only thing that is a bit tricky is mouse overs which is difficult without an actual mouse. While the interface can become a bit sluggish at times its very usable. Once you get used to using it, it becomes a part of your everyday life. The default email application shipping with the device is good at best but there are several other applications that can be installed that will suit most needs (Claws mail, Modest). When it comes to video playback I have had great success putting large MP4 videos on an 8GB SD card with no problems. The playback is fluid and audio is synced. While its not a multimedia powerhouse like the other Nseries devices (N95) its very impressive considering it was designed mainly to browse the web, chat and keep up to date with email. VOIP works good but you need a very good wifi connection to pull it off. Don't plan on traveling to public hotspots and expect to get enough consistent bandwidth to make phone calls. Keep a cell phone for these types of things. Lastly no its not a phone and no it can't become a phone with a firmware update. If you are wanting to carry this device as a laptop replacement you will need a cell phone in the other pocket. The plus side of this is if you have a data plan that allows tethering its a breeze to setup and works great for anywhere internet. In summary this device is top notch. The build is solid and the features are great. Highly recommended for anybody wanting the true internet in their palm anywhere they go. (Using tethered modem, or wifi hotspots) Date: 2008-03-27 N810 I am very happy with the tablet, it has almost all the features you can find in a laptop. However, the map application on the N95 is way better. So far, I have not managed to get a gps fix or specify a route. Naturally, I am reluctant to buy the premium service. Other than that, this is a very impressive product. Date: 2008-03-26 A great peice of technology I love this product, the only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because firstly, the keyboard is a little painstaking to use for extended periods of time - the keys are a little hard to press, so your hands quite quickly get strained. Secondly, despite the swiftness of my wireless connection, pages take a little longer to load than on a normal computer. Other than that, a great quality product.
