Tex, I don't believe that that is your writing, plagiarism is bad buddy.

Very well written buddy, Spot on. The only thing I'm a bit wary about is the bump in CPU speed on the N800. Sure I like it, my device will be faster and everything will run smoother etc... BUT. What about battery life? The 810 has its battery bumped up by 300mA if I recall. A 70MHz jump on a mobile device will need a LOT of optimization to keep the battery usage rate at the same level. (IMhO)

Otherwise the 810 seems right about where it should be, Some features will please some, others will disappoint. Personally I was looking forward to grabbing one, but the price (479? really? I got my n800 at 350 as an early adopter) and the card slots.... yeah. I have 2 8GB SDHC cards, I could split them with n800/810 but now I have to buy new cards? :-/

The Hardware keyboard surprised me, I heard something about it but assumed it was just rumors and false. I won't criticize it because I have yet to use it in real person, and as much as I feel a bit perplexed at the inclusion of a keyboard, I'll wait to try it before I give it an honest opinion.

Oh that reminds me. what ever happened to the 3d chip included with the N800? I heard that there was a 3d Accel chip that was never used, no drivers for it... and we were waiting on Nokia to activate it and do something wonderful with it. I know I'm probably not gonna get a satisfactory answer (NDAs.... :D ) but I'm just throwing that out there, food for thought.

Overall great preview Tex, I wish I could read your blog. I would gladly add to your constant readership :)

Also, what a coincidence, note that I have only briefly seen the physical product so I'm unable to go very deep in analysis anyway (maybe later if/when I obtain one).

(that seems to be the magical sentence :D [credit goes to texrat for above paragraph])

Re: The 411 on the N810
 

well, I still have to find a failed promise to my 770. (paid 150$ new)

the OS2006 it was sold with is rock solid when not upgraded. I never rebooted on me until I started adding 3rd party softw to it.

In fact, based on my own specific usage, I still can't see a good reason to upgrade the 150$ n770 to the 235$ n800 or the 450$ n810 (the gps is cool, the keyboard is a nice to have that I can live without)

BUT rs-mmc is not a good feature on the 770 and I hope the n810 will use the regular SD cards.

Good luck accessing the url Jon, but here ya go: http://blogs.nokia.com/blogs/thelong...11_on_the.html :D

As for the speed increase, what I've read says that it will occur in only certain circumstances and the reason it was withheld until now was to address the power consumption questions. Supposedly there have been corresponding efficiencies that even things out. I have definitely noticed a bit of perkiness and yet no decrease in battery life.

As for acceleration, I've also read that it's utilized BUT I cannot confirm...yet.

Re: The 411 on the N810
 

More power to ya man. To be fair, I haven't touched a 770 since release. Back then, the system just wasn't there for video/flash/browsing. it promised a real mobile internet experience but it didn't really deliver one. I understand those things got better over time, but I think the rocky start plus the big performance jump with the 800 was a sore spot with people who picked up the 770 early.

Re: The 411 on the N810
 

Thanks... It worked! :D

Re: The 411 on the N810
 

Yeah, and I expect YOU to leave a comment so I can add you to the list of Nokians I pester. :p

Re: The 411 on the N810
 

Thanks for the link Tex, Now I have to change my ip address... :D

Ok what you say about the clock makes sense. So the tablet will run say at 300 MHz... and when you open up a video it will crank up all they way to 400MHz...then when you shut the vid it will drop down to 350 as you browse the net.... Something like that?

3D accel... mmmmm :)

Go check out your blog... :p

A snippet from the Reuters article linked to above says:
I guess some technology writers still haven't grasped that it's not a phone :D.

Yeah, and I see you left a GENERIC signature. :mad: :D
