Customer Reviews

The perfect mobile internet browser
I'm very pleased with this device. Makes a good replacement for both a PDA and a notebook, albeit the "personal information manager" features of a PalmOS PDA are still better than the basic address book in the N800.

But this is no PDA, it's a mobile internet browsing device with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (you can connect to the Net via bluetooth to your GPRS-enabled mobile phone), and it excells at that job.

The good:
Excellent screen size. Three buttons let you zoom text in/out and also go into "full screen" mode.

It comes with a stylus but besides entering URLs and login info the first time(it can save logins for future visits), you can navigate the web and read just by using the 5-way navigating pad on the left side of the device.
It includes two SD slots and can be used as a video and MP3 player.

It runs on Linux OS, with a nice graphical desktop developed by Nokia

You can install dozens of third party applications, most free, including a spreadsheet (Gnumeric), an enhanced media player dubbed "Canola" that makes the device look and act like an iPod, and it's rumoured that Nokia is having Skype port its software to the device as well.

The bad:

No "extended battery" currently available.

(Battery life is between 2.5 and 4 hours of continuous use when logged in via Wi-Fi (which can be a power hog). If you let power saving kick in, the battery can last for a couple days without recharging).

Do a Google search for "Nokia N800 theinquirer.net" and you will be able to read my full review as published on 'the INQUIRER', including pictures.

good spec but some weak points
Plus points: this is a true pocket tablet is easy to use and has good battery life. text entry is good with a 'virtual keyboard' and it's clever it can differentiate between your finger or the stylus for inputting. The Bluetooth access is a good feature. Media player and I particularly liked the internet radio.

Minus points: most disappointing of all is the webcam. It doesn't work with Skype which is one of the main reasons I bought it. Fairly low on memory but flash is cheap.

Avoid!
If I'd written a review a month or two after buying an N800 I'd probably have given it 4 stars. However I now that the machine is notorious for hardware failures - the screen on mine went a few days after going out of guarantee. With so many other choices, I'd avoid the N800 and its close relations.
