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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great pocket device with a screen that rocks, November 24, 2007

This review is from: Nokia N810 Portable Internet Tablet (Electronics)
I bought the N810 (had been considering the N800 a long time) and this really is a great internet tablet.
I think Nokia has it right in no tmaking it a phone too (and locked down). Firstly - the wifi is super on this and detects wifi better than my laptop.
The OS is very fast and spiffy and the software feels like its running on a desktop - fast.
You can connect to 3G thru the phone over bluetooth (provided you have a data plan) and that gives me always connected and on status. I call my parents in India now ofrom any place using Gizmo, or Google talk . Its a great tablet for VoIP. Just have to wait some more for Skype to also work on this soon.

As a music player and Video player - its superb. Great album art also included in some apps like Kagu and UKMP. Though the music quality is a wee bit lacking in comparison to a good mp3 player (like my iRiver).

It's not a PDA, so many of regular PDA apps are missing - but again thanks to open source... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and flexible, February 16, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Nokia N810 Portable Internet Tablet (Electronics)
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... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars As the 3rd Nokia tablet, N810 should have been better, December 21, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Nokia N810 Portable Internet Tablet (Electronics)
I bought a N770 a couple years ago, and it had a dead pixel (but I didn't return it). I ordered N810 2 weeks ago, and it also had a dead pixel. This time, I returned the N810 not only because of the dead pixel, but also because of many usability problems.

The two primary reasons I bought the N810 were the slide-out keyboard and the built-in GPS. The slide-out keyboard is good for finger typing (rather than using a stylus tapping on the touch screen as in N770), but it creates several problems. First, since the four-way rocker key is on the keyboard, I don't like the fact that I cannot use the four way rocker to scroll the screen up and down unless I also expose the keyboard (The menu button is also on the keyboard; but you can use the tiny on-screen menu key as a substitute). Second, the "up" key of the rocker key is so close to the edge of the screen, making it very difficult to press it (even though I have small hand). Sometimes I pressed the center "select"...
