I wanted one so badly last year but they were being phased out and people were buying 3, 4, 5 at a time pissing me off! Now I got this demo unit for $120 on eBay sooner than I thought. I just booted it up and aaaaah I can't wait! I got 1.5 hrs until I have to leave for work

Pop in a couple of inexpensive, full size 16GB SD cards, and load 'em up with lots of video and music...

Yep 'm gonna get an 8gb card.

Hey question though. What is the internet one for (the Mini-SD) - memory or storage, or either? How about external?

I notice the Mini-SD is 128 MB, I have a Micro-SD with adapter thats 256 MB. Can I toss that in there?

Congrats it's a fine device !

Maybe you confuse between the internal storage memory and the 2 SD slots (1 internal and 1 external)


Softwares does install in an internal memory not in the SDs. I think there is a way to install softs on SD too but never needed it.

- Internal and external SD can be used for anything you want. Basically, the internal one could get your basic documents and your music library, and so you could keep the external SD for exchanging datas.
For example, the tablet makes a good picture reader/ storage if your camera is SD based, and if you put a big SD in internal slot. Then you can manage your pictures, select, trash, copy it in your tablet ...

You can use normal SD/ SDHC, or mini, or micro, with adapters.

For the most part, you're open to using either slot for whatever data you like. Organize your files on the two cards as you see fit. The only minor difference between the two slots is that if you turn on virtual memory (a swap file), that hidden file is created on the internal card.

Having a swap file on the internal card does mean that if you're running a number of applications on your N800 when you plug the tablet into your computer via USB, the N800 might not be able to let your computer access the internal card. The N800 will display an error message on screen in that case.

Yes. Your N800 will accept any SD or SDHC card, and with the appropriate adapter, it will also work with any miniSD/SDHC or microSD/SDHC.

The beauty of the N800 is that you don't need the more expensive mini or micro SD cards. The full size SD cards are really cheap these days.

I put the SD card that I want to partition for alternative operating systems into my "internal" slot, and I put media on the "external" card, so I can pop it out and share with other devices.

I suggest you buy a dedicated SD card, as big as you can afford, and stuff it in the internal slot. You can put the cards with adapters in the other slot.

I powered it on, it said battery needed to be charge d- it shut off. So I plugged in the AC, no power. Tried 3 differe outlets, nothing.

I read on here to put it in fridge for 10 - 15 minutes so it cools and it tends to power on? I'm trying that - it's in a towel.

wait !!!!!
just let it charge first, if battery is very very low, maybe it just need to be charged before the device can wake up ?

Hey the fridge method worked

Well, happy for you then !

How do you like the N800 so far ?
Is it your first Nokia Internet Tablet ?
