Amazon.com Product Description
Updating the popular N800, Nokia has made significant improvements on its predecessor with the N810 Internet Tablet while retaining much of what made the N800 such an easy-to-use mobile multimedia/communications device. The N810 augments the onscreen keyboard with a backlit, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and it also adds a front-facing webcam, 2 GB of internal storage (expandable via memory cards up to 8 GB), and integrated GPS. Built to be constantly in use, you'll easily stay in touch with business associates, friends, and family thanks to its VoIP calling, instant messaging and email connectivity. And with stereo audio, multimedia support and a new ergonomic design, the Nokia N800 morphs into a portable Internet entertainment device, enabling playback of streamed and downloaded content wherever you roam.

The Nokia N810 adds a slide-out QWERTY keyboard that makes it easy to compose email and quickly chat with your online buddies.

In addition to Internet access and GPS, the N810 also offers wide compatibility for digital audio and video playback.

The 4.1-inch touchscreen has an 800 x 400-pixel resolution with up to 65K colors. You can access controls and an onscreen keyboard, or slide-out the physical QWERTY keyboard at the bottom for even easier typing. The N810 provides 2 GB of onboard flash memory and 128 MB of RAM. It also offers a single expansion slot that is compatible with Secure Digital (SD), MultiMedia, miniSD, and microSD memory cards with a size limit of 2 GB. (Adapter required for miniSD and microSD.) You can add up to 8 GB of memory when using Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) cards. You can also connect the N810 to a PC using the included USB cable to update software and transfer files from the PC to the a memory card.

For multimedia playback, the N800 is compatible with MP3 and WMA digital audio files, Real Audio streams, and video files encoded as AVI or MPEG4 (see specifications below for full compatibility list). The N810 has two integrated speakers as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack for personal listening.

The main form of connectivity is Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), and hooking up to a network is as simple as connecting with a laptop. You can also use the integrated Bluetooth wireless connectivity to hook up with a cell phone that is compatible with online data services. When connected to either a WLAN network or to a cell phone, you can make calls using the built-in Internet telephony application as well as conduct video conferencing with the built-in Web cam.

The Nokia N810 is powered by maemo Linux-based OS2008, which offers a highly customizable user interface and contains various features such as a Mozilla based browser with Ajax, Adobe Flash 9 and RSS feed reader, Bluetooth headset support as well as enhanced video and audio features. The refreshed Video Gizmo, Skype and Rhapsody applications highlight some of the most popular downloads available while Boingo Wireless, Earthlink and The Cloud enable Wi-Fi connectivity across thousands of different locations globally.

Perfect for use on the go, the N810 includes an integrated GPS receiver and comes with preloaded maps that enable you to browse detailed locations, search for street addresses, find various points of interest (POI) as well as nearby Wi-Fi hotspots. You can also purchase an optional subscription to the Wayfinder Maps application for enhanced mobile navigation. Other features include

Integrated VGA web camera
Support for IMAP4, SMTP, and POP3 email
Games: chess, blocks, mahjong and marbles
Integrated desk stand

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) technology means that the Nokia N810 will discover, interact with, and control other compatible home electronic devices. This includes PCs, media centers, home entertainment systems, new smart appliances, home automation systems, networked peripherals, and Web-based services. With compatible equipment, you can stream video from your Nokia device directly to your TV, or hear music tracks stored on your PC through your living room's sound system.

What UMPCs intended to become December 22, 2007

N810 is an awesome device. At first I was worried that the keyboard being so small would be impractical and of little use. It actually is amazingly good and my hands are not small at all. N810 has embedded GPS and super bright screen (it has photo sensor and brightness is auto adjusted). Uses standard Nokia battery and runs up to 6-7 hours with it (it could play mp3's all day long with display turned off) despite the fact that the whole device wights only 200g.

It has also mozilla based browser and all the popular sites I can think of work just fine - google maps, youtube, google reader, facebook, gmail and so on. There are many applications for N810 such as Gizmo, Skype, Wayfinder, Vagalume (last.fm client), UKMP media player, Canola and many more. For the more geeky of us there is xterm and tons of apt-get-able linux software (incl. openssh).

I upgraded from the N770 to the N810 and am very impressed. For the average user, it provides a Firefox-based web browser with Flash 9, capable of displaying all modern web sites, unheard of for a mobile device. It can display, GMail, Google Docs, YouTube, Mint.com and more. It supports Google Talk, Gizmo and Skype for making voice calls over the web. The media player can display high quality full screen video. The built-in stereo speakers mean you won't be hunting for your earbuds every time you want to hear some music. Software updates can be performed on the device, without help from a computer. Internet access is available through wifi or a Bluetooth connection to a web-enabled phone. I've read many reviewers that don't like the keyboard. It is a bit short and butts up against the screen, but you easily get used to it after a few hours. In any case, it beats the iPhone's virtual keyboard and the Blackberry's tiny keypad any day. Having actual backlit keys that you can actually touch and actually press down without your thumbs smurging onto other keys by accident is rewarding. The GPS is not slow, but the receiver is quite weak. You must have a very clear view of the sky to use it.
Those who want more from the N810 can enable the "maemo Extras" repository in the application manager. That gives you access to great software, including Maemo Mapper, a free GPS mapping program, Pidgin multi client IM app, Canola media center, Video Center video podcast client, plenty of games and more. Try to get FBReader too. It's a wonderful ebook reader.
I love this device and use it daily. In fact, I wrote this review on it ;-)

i love this thing. it can do everything that a pc can do but you can fit it in your pocket. it does take alittle bit of know how to really unlock its true power. you can remote into your desktop pc from anywhere there is a internet connection. you can also use your internet from your celll phone also. i can access the net from anywhere now. i would recommend this device to anybody who is looking for a all in one device but dont want to get a iphone. the n810 is so the iphone killer. get one. you wont regret it.

Portable internet in your pocket. February 25, 2008

I have now had my N810 for a week and still love it.
It does come with several applications that will get you running from the time you get it out of the box. But there are many-many more available, some replacements, but many add functionality.
I connected to my home Wi-Fi within minutes, and have tried it out in many hot spots without any trouble. The GPS locks on in the same amount of time as my hand held GPS.
I am still working on getting podcasts to feed automatically, but see that the installed video player will do that.

Kudos:
Small form factor (Why I bought this over the Asus EEE-Pc.)
Great battery life (4-6 hours use, 6 days standby with minor tweaking.)
Good keyboard; in the open mode, full screen and half screen.
Handwriting recognition takes practice but works well. (It messes up in the xterm program however.)
Built in stand also serves as hand loop.

Perceived Faults:
Volume is too low in playback mode with anything other than the built in video player.
It would be good to have a tether point for an optional wrist-strap.
Camera is not very high resolution.

Recommended add-ons:
Better case (Nintendo DS-Lite cases work very well.)
Auto charger (Nokia phone charger with the small plug.)
Mini SD card for multi-media content.
Screen protector sheet.
Bluetooth Headset. (I use the Jabra-BT8010.)

---------------
Update: (A few weeks later.)
I have found that the video center program will work well with podcasts. (I combine it with Yahoo Pipes to consolidate about 10 feeds into 2.) Battery life is very dependent upon your use. If you turn off WiFi, you will get a lot more time in use and standby. Offline mode works very well to do this when you don't need bluetooth and wifi (Listening with headphones, reading e-books.) otherwise you can set it to only look for wifi when you need to and leave the bluetooth on.
There is more software out there than you should ever need, as this is linux based, nearly everything is possible. I still haven't tried Skype, but have no need for it at this time. One of the greatest uses I have put this to is portable network access, I just SSH to a server and run whatever I need it to.

-------------
Update: 6 Months later.

Still in love, I hardly use my laptop anymore. While the GPS does take a while to get it's fix if you are moving it works very well for GeoCaching. Plenty of battery life for 2 hours of movie watching on a flight plus reading e-text books for several hours. I have now used it for skype and am happy with the way it works. While I do have trouble listening to Pandora.com with it (Bandwidth issues at home,) I do use it to listen to my Ampache server flawlessly over wifi at my home.

This device is a beauty June 4, 2008
Pankaj Gupta (New York, NY)

This is an absolutely wonderful device. I also own a iphone and a pocket pc so I'll present a comparison.

IPAQ:
I bought a pocket pc (HP Ipaq 110) a few months back thinking that it would serve as a handheld computing device for me. Let me assure you - it didn't. Windows pocket pcs just dont have it in them. In the Ipaq 110, there were no zoom buttons for quick full screen access. Nokia n810 puts the resolution on ipaq 110 to a shame. The screen resolution on ipaq 110 was so poor that if you wanted to see a webpage, you could only see maybe 1/16th of the width at one time. Text was not clear unless it was really huge (by Nokia N810 standards). Microsoft just hasn't designed an innovative enough product. Who ever came up with the idea of trying to fit a webpage somehow on a low resolution screen, by totally scrapping all structure, has obviously never tried to use it themselves.

Iphone:
While the resolution on iphone was good, who really wants to keep rubbing their fingers on the screen all the time? The browsing was very barebone. It was only marginally better than the pocketpc. Half the websites wouldn't open or would be completely unbrowsable. And what's the point of browsing if you can't save a thing to your computer. You can't save any pdf's - nothing. Everything was restricted. There were no hardware buttons - all you did was rub your fingers across the screen.

Nokia N810:
The browsing on this device is beyond description. After my experiences with iphone and ipaq, I was beginning to thing that there is no such thing as proper browsing on a handheld device. Nokia N810 proved me wrong. The resolution of the screen is so high (and beautifully fine) that you can actually browse very comfortably. You see entire websites on one screen and it doesn't feel that you are compromising anything.

The Mozilla based browser works wonderfully. On N810, there is no difference how a webpage would behave on a laptop vs on this device. You actually see what you see on a laptop. This is not a scrapped down browser like the other two devices I mentioned - You can actually do important tasks without taking an hour trying to some how get around form or functional barriers.

128 megs of ram is great. For comparison, IPAQ 110 had 64 megs of ram. In Nokia N810, there is also an option to use a swap file on the internal disk.

The filesystem and file manager feel very robust. There is the device file system, and the internal card (2 GB), and your own micro SD card (if you inserted one).

Installing Applications:
Installing applications is very easy - just go to [...] (on your device itself) and click install buttons for what ever you want to install. There are some nice games out there. You have to try numpty physics.

Skype:
Skype works great. You just download and install it and you have a fully functional WiFi phone right away.

PDF and Document Reading:
This device excells in all forms of text reading. The screen is so great, it actually makes text look so beautiful. There is a fully functional PDF reader that comes pre-installed. Also, make sure you install 'evince'. I cannot praise evince enough. It is one of the many free applications you can download and install from [...]. It lets you view pdfs, and also Djvu (and others besides that). There is a ebook reader too (FBReader). I tried opening a Djvu file on my pocketpc, and while it would open, it was totally useless - first because of the low resolution, and secondly because the software was so crappy. However, with evince on Nokia N810, I can so easily (and fully functional, no compromises) read some of the Djvu books that I have (some of them many megs large with hundreds of pages).

The hardware buttons on this device work perfect. The quick zoom lets you maximise applications to full screen and then there are zoom in/out buttons, lock button, power button etc. (Microsoft should learn something from this instead of producing crappy OS for portable devices after 6+ years of development).

Updates: Updates to the OS and software are frequent. There is a good community developing software for this device. Everything is built for open standards and more connectivity and capabilities (instead of designing applications to make them more restrictive).

Connection to PC: There are multiple connectivity options to a PC. You don't need any drivers or anything. Just hook it to a pc and it becomes an external harddrive. You see, both the internal card and the external card as removable drives. You can of course, copy stuff directly to the microSD card using SD adapters and readers etc. (many microSD cards come with adapters, and many new laptops have SD readers inbuilt).

This linux device actually feels like a computer in hand, instead of feeling like a gimmic. The browsing is so functional, you can use it full time as an ultra portable computer. Performance is very decent.

For enthusiasts out there, there are things like xterm (comes pre-installed), rdesktop (you can login onto and remotely use your windows desktops), openSSH and a bunch of nice utilities available.

Summary:
I was beginning to think that handheld devices are mostly toys - they cannot be used for any serious browsing, reading etc. Nokia N810 proved me wrong. The screen is so beautiful and high-resolution, you see entire webpages on it. And the browser is not a nerfed version - it is a fully functional mozilla browser - just like on a laptop.

Document viewing ability is excellent. Google maps, google documents, gmail etc. - all work great. You can actually login to your secure websites (credit card payments, shopping) and not feel that suddenly a website might not work on your handheld.

I highly recommend this product.
