Nokia N810 Internet Tablet

Nokia was way ahead of every other manufacturer to create an actually functional tablet "PC" that, for the time it was built, is incredible. By modern standards, nothing about the N810 is really great but I will review it by area:Build Quality: Very good to excellent: Nothing on the device really feels cheap even though it is relatively cheap for what it does. Mine has had quite a few falls, trips through the washer/dryer, down the stairs, even once out the window of my car. And yet the only thing that has broken on it is the Gps reciever, which gave out on my about 3 months ago after it's latest trip through the wash.Screen: Good. the resistive touch screen on the N810 is nothing to marvel at. Occasionally i have to press things twice or even three times for the screen to actually regester my touch. The brightness of the screen is exceptional and the matte finish keeps you from constantly wiping fingerprints off the screen.Keyboard: Very good. I have fat fingers yet I rarely have any significant issue with the keyboard. The keyboard is very functional and the on-screen keyboard does the job.OS: Fair. here is where you will run into issues with the N810. Some advice, firstly, drop all the programs you do not use, they're probably using RAM and wasting battery you dont need to waste. Secondly. NEVER USE THE WORTHLESS BROWSER THAT COMES WITH THE N810. Actually dont, use it once just so you understand how godawful it is then go to the app market and get Opera Mobile 10.1 for free and love your new browser. The operating system of the N810 is pretty light and easy to use, you will no doubt run into a few glitches but in my opinion it's pretty well-behaved.Battery life: Excellent. When i bought this device almost 2 years ago my battery under heavy use would last me almost all day, now under a similar load it will last me just 2 hours or so less. I love the battery on this because it just doesnt quit. You should, however, get an advanced battery app from the appstore because it will give you a more detailed look at your power usage and battery condition.Compatibility: Good. Throw any music on this and it will work, almost any pic format, it gets a little testy when it comes to video format but most common ones will work fine on it. Mini Sd card slot is awesome because mini sd cards are dirt cheap because no one uses them. I got 2 4gb ones off Ebay for like 8 bucks. The slot for data transfer is proprietary but you can also tranfer via bluetooth so i usually just use that and leave for 10-15 mins and everything is done.GPS: Good. It may take a bit to find you and whatnot but when it does it's a pretty useful navigation tool. Keep in mind that the tech is like 4 years old now and that the maps will also be about that old.The reason I say that the N810 came out too early is because nokia should have given it another year and added a capacitive touch screen, a better than 2mp camera, and worked out a few more bugs in the device. And perhaps a bit more advertising would have done this product well for both sales and support.

I have this N810 since one month ago, It has crashed 10 times since then, It sounds like it have been software problems always. I even had to remove the battery after the freeze twice. In general it's a great product, and I'm sure it will be software more stable for it after a while. The GPS doesn't work fine in Mexico. I can read PDF files on it, synchronize my calendar with ubuntu (manually). And with wireless earphones I can used it to watch videos and listen to music in the GYM. But the great feature is that I can make internet video calls. My husband has also a N800 and after buy mine we are in touch for free in every part of the world by a minimum cost (the 250usd I payed for it, less than a cell phone).

If this was 2005 it would have good features including nav aid, wifi, skype,and much more in a handy easy to carry frame. But the is 2012 and there are smart phones that have much more features and functions. If you are looking for a cheaper version of a tablet this may be for you. Or not, just find a few extra bucks and get you a modern tablet.

This nokia n810 is the best , the internet is better than any other Ipaq or Palm inclusive, the lots of app that you can find online is huge so you can add more features to you hand.

This is a great little wifi tablet. It is a bit overpriced - I will agree with the customers who said that - but all in all, the functionality is great, the OS is solid and the WiFi is better than top notch laptops. I owned this for a few months before selling it for a Samsung Intercept (touchscreen). I sold it to compress everything I had to one gadget - I had this for wifi, a cell phone to call, and a music player. Sold all of that and DOWNSIZED. But if you are looking for a wifi tablet, here's why I think this is great:PROS-LARGE interface. Huge window. Large viewing capacity. GREAT for avid internet users.-Seamless video playing. Watch youtube straight from the site.-Great little app directory. Download a whole bunch of apps.-Work on word documents.-The great keypad - One of the best keypads on any device. Beats my Intercept by miles. Easy to push and fun to use.-Fairly good battery lifeCONS-Cannot make youtube full screen. Just zoom to watch.-Sometimes freezes if music player and web is running at the same time.-Can become slow if loaded with apps.-Needs adaptor, cannot use regular micro sd card but needs mini sd adaptor.

I purchased this unit to do one thing stream satellite radio. It canDo it but it's very cumbersome and a pain to do. You can't justLog on like you would on a laptop. If your expecting that don'tIt won't work. Overal I find the device pretty slow so approachWith caution.
