It's not a modern tablet, no question about it. However, something's wrong with how you're connecting to WiFi. Nokia put an *excellent* RF section into the N810, and even went to extra trouble to make Bluetooth and WiFi co-exist. You may have messed up signing onto the McD's access point, or you bought a broken unit. But of all the shortcomings you might list for the N810, RF performance just isn't one of them.

Sorry you're so unhappy with your $40 purchase. At this late stage in the N810's life you really have to decide if you're a cup-half-full kind of person or a cup-half-empty one.
