ROFL Viipottaja. That's priceless.

Also:

"In essence the N810 is an upgraded version of Nokia's first foray into the Linux portable world - the N800"



The comment I left:

Horrible review. It ignores the fact that the 770 was Nokia's first Linux tablet, confuses the device with a phone, and expresses surprise at features the N800 also possessed (webcam, fold-out stand).

Guys, it's billed as an internet tablet. Not a phone. It's a very small touchscreen COMPUTER. NOT a phone. Totally different path defined for this NON-phone product. It doesn't need GSM, 3g, et al. It's not a phone. It connects over wifi or uses bluetooth to connect with THE PHONE YOU WOULD ALREADY HAVE.

The score is nuts. It's wrought of ignorance.

Did I mention the N810 is not a phone?
Let's see if moderators allow it.

That information week initial review is pretty poor.

Of course budget notebooks get into the same ballpark but the reviewer totally misses miniaturization, by a mile, no, a continent. This device is pocketable, has an excellent screen at 800x480, and, you only need a mobile phone if you want to use it outside of free wifi.

I have an N800 since recently and absolutely love it. I take it everywhere and even leave my notebook at home. It is perfect for reading the web and little emails.

I do wish the N tablet series could already be more advanced and become a true little mobile blogging, media player, email & pda device. Right now I'm stumbling on software limitations, mainly.

But add that keyboard and GPS ... and that is some neat powerful cocktail.

That the reviewer fails to see that, is really really sad.

They say it will cost 299 in UK? Ouch!
£299 is what the N800 was selling for not too long ago (still seems to be £280 at Expansys) , I was worried the N810 would be £350+...

Surprise, surprise, your comment is out......, I guess it takes some time for the mod to check out who is Texrat from itT, uh. I like the last word "Did I mention the N810 is not a phone?", good job Texrat, we are proud of you!



BTW, the reason why the rating is nuts, probably he drank those glasses and got drunk before the review , the rating should be 10, but he drank 5 of them.

I totally agree with you. I love my 770 too, and, of course, I have left my laptop/s at home, and one of my winCE at home, and I took the 770 everywhere. Sadly, I cannot stay away from my other winCE machine as it carries my contact and my schedule (Dont tell me, I saw a thread yesterday about how to transfer the contacts to the N800, I will try over the weekend), and Citrix and a drug book. These have not been ported to the 770 yet, I am sure that will the day if the Chinook and Diablo keeps on rolling out....


Thanks Nokia, I am waiting for the 2008OS....

Now we have more reviews on the web, ThoughtFix video demo, http://tabletblog.com/, leaves very little doubt about the N810 look and feel, while deliverator's report, http://deliverator.silverfir.net/?p=485, gives a critical review about the N810's functionality. Deliverator's report is the most critical among others. Oh, if you are on Video Center, dont miss GeekBriefTV #0246, (PodshowTV for N800, use external player mplayer) Coli Lewis introducing the N810, even hers is more accurate than the inquirer's. With these reports, the N810 may have a hard sell to the N800 users!

TomTom Go 720 has 4.3" screen, high res, bluetooth to phone for handfree call/text message and for traffic updates. Has voice guidance, including street names. Has a light sensor i believe also. Voice recognition for route setup. 6 million points of interest included.

It costs $415 on ebay shipped.

Lol. Other than being random, does your post have any purpose? The N810 isn't marketed or designed as a stand-alone GPS. That's merely one of the MANY functions. Does that TomTom also do VOIP over WiFi or 3G? No? Does it have an internet browser? No? Hmmm, does it do Internet Radio? No. Wow, seems like a crappy GPS unit for $415....
