That's a joke. The GPS is a joke, even with A-GPS. You move and your lock is lost. Totally helpless, I could find my way better with a hunting dog and a Ouija board.

Internet calling with built in web camera. Funny that the device doesn't even ship with installed software to do any of that. Only stubs to install underdeveloped clients. It doesn't even come with a snapshot program.

Updates and the repositories are a nightmare, barely working most of the time. I have to continually attempt updates. That was before Nokia tossed the N810 off the back of the truck as well (as evidenced by countless threads here).

The UI is unresponsive.

Is it just me, or do most people here just not have the ability to read what I say?

I say nothing about the keyboard, the wifi, the bluetooth. Those are all fine. But all of you here seem to think that I'm just doing a hatchet job on the device. The truth is, it is it's own hatchet job.

Don't expect me to take on your lower standards.
Ok, now that you've given us more specifics..

1) I can't say anything about the n810's GPS. I don't own an n810, I own an n800 (similar hardware specs and OS, but slightly different).

2) Internet calling application, Nokia includes one called "internet calls [or is it internet calling?]". But as another user stated, it relies on web standards. Web standards that nobody seems to follow completly.

3) Updates/Repos being slow. I've never had this issue unless a repo was down (I have alot of 3rd party repos in my list).

4) UI is unresponsive. I don't have this problem either, for its hardware specs it works better then I thought it would. For me it's only unresponsively if I have several resource hungry apps open.
