come on, grow up textrat. everyone has their own experiences and criticism. if you like it buy it, but if someone else doesn't, let them have that opinion not to buy it.

Maybe they think your blinded. You dismiss everyone's negative experience on something just because you have a different (positive) experience with it. You are bias and most of you need to just continue like those apple fanboys you so hate, but instead keep sucking nokia's nob. i know you have to textrat, but everyone else - you should know better.

hehehehehehehehehe hahahahahhaha hhehehehheeh

Personally, I have a smartphone (Treo 700p), a Nokia n800 and an iPhone. When I use my gadgets in front of my friends, the iPhone impresses my friends far more than the n800. Especially the girls go gaga oover the iPhone, which I use only for music/video podcast and frankly the phone function is just ok (voice too low).

So if you are going to accuse someone "who don't get it", just to be sure that alot of people out there don't "get" the n800/n810 tablets. I need a tablet because I want a mini laptop replacement due to the nature of my job. However IMO most people don't need an internet tablet, therefore they don't get it.

But, notice that he qualified his original statement with:

If a blogger begins with "I don't understand this device",
This statement completely invalidates your argument. You see, you're not actually responding to his original argument, but to a different argument consisting of a made up premise and Texrat's conclusion.

When piecing together rational arguments its best to do it with a clear head and rational.

Maybe it's as Wagner said...

I don't like the Nokia N810 because I'm fat and it's not chocolate-covered...
I had to laugh

I'm cool if someone doesn't like a Nokia tablet, but I'd like them to have a valid reason for not liking a Nokia tablet.

This guy Wagner has reviewed the N810 with several unfounded preconceptions, and it shows - it's a crap review.

Even the name is misleading -- a "tablet" should be a device the size of a notebook computer; the Nokia N810 is a pocket-sized computer.
WTF? So now he's p1ssed because it's called a tablet yet it's small and dinky and not large and heavy? OK... good start.

To use the device, you connect over a Wi-Fi network, or a Bluetooth mobile phone.

And that's its main drawback -- you're paying nearly $500 for a device that only connects over Wi-Fi, and you need to spend more money on another smartphone if you want to connect over other wireless networks.
He clearly wants it to *be* a cellular phone too, but it's not a cellular phone. It's not meant to be a cellular phone. Was he asleep when class were given this information? He then goes on to claim you need a smartphone for non-WiFi connections - ********, any PoS phone with Bluetooth will work. He really doesn't seem to be the smartest tool in the box, but he does sound as though he's got an agenda (pro Apple, or anti Nokia I'm not sure - but he's not neutral).

Ultimately the entire "review" is flawed by his preconceived ideas of what the Nokia tablet should be, and he's disappointed because it isn't what he was expecting. That's poor journalism - he's not reviewed this device and considered why it's designed the way it is and the possibilities it offers, he's only reviewed how it's isn't designed the way he thinks it should be.

Can someone make a poll for the inclusion of with/without phone??

a bluetooth upgrade in size of an usb stick would be better.

They will eventually add a cell phone... and that's just what others don't "get".

Any portable gadget should evolve into something that reduces the number of gadgets you carry around.

Cell phones are doing it... They have gotten quite good at playing, and storing personal music, picture, and videos. So good that it was beginning to erode sales of iPODS. Digital camera sales are eroding as well.

Apple had to fight back by developing a phone that plays personal music, picture, and videos at their standard (the level at which they have evolved), not a cell phones manufacureres...



...but that's it. Inclusion of a web browser was only so they could control how their web content was delivered and that's all. Other sites were secondary. In fact if you want your content to display correctly on their phone you have to reformat your site (YouTube).

Reformat a site for the needs of one manufacturers devices?
That's just the opposite of what HTML was all about.
That way stifles development and stunts evolution.

But that's also the way of most cell phone manufactures in the USA not just Apple. It is what the customer wants...
In the US the customer is not you or I... it's the cell carriers!
They want the same thing Apple wants... the means to charge you for what you see and hear using their product.

Because of this top down approach evolution will stop when they have accomplished that and can predict a rate of return on their investment.

Nokia's tablet philosophy seems to be from the bottom up. I hope the last thing they do is add a cell phone. (Pro'ly the easiest thing for a cell manufacturer to do; doncha think?) If it is truly a bottom up approach, that would mean that all other means of connectivity (free) have been explored and have evolved.

We are part of that evolution.

If you purchase enough things because of how they are marketed to you well, you are exactly the customer that Apple and US cell carriers are looking for and I doubt you will ever "get" alternative thinking.

Edit: (The "you" in the above statement is rhetorical and not aimed at anyone. sachin007's statement was only quoted to get my rant started... Peace )

You really don't understand at all the context of what I said, do you?

Ironic.
