Customer Reviews

A great alternative to iPod Touch?
I had one of these on trial for an afternoon at a web conference. I have to say that I loved it and I had been sold on getting an iPod Touch. Admittedly they are different machines, the iPod is... well an iPod. But there are significant advantages over the Apple... Firstly bluetooth which might not seem that big a deal but it does give you the opportunity to connect to your mobile phone when out of wifi range. Secondly and a major advantage is the VoIP capability which seems unlikely to happen on the Touch, and if it does it'll be unwieldly. The OS seemed intuitive after a while and I am guessing that there will be a wider range of apps available. The model I borrowed had a French keyboard which was bit of a pain... but with an english kb the fullstop etc should be much easier to get. I didn't even get the chance to try out the GPS or the videocam. There is less storage than a Touch for music etc but you do have the option to use a flash card - another advantage - and of course it's more expensive. We'll see what Father Christmas says.

Nokia N810 - Size Doesn't matter
I bought one of these in the States in March, and it's a great piece of kit. Firstly, be warned, this is not a phone, this is a miniature personal computer running the Maemo variation of Linux. Secondly, it is amazing how great it is to connect to the internet anywhere with a wi-fi connection (or using your 3G phone connection via blue tooth). You can check emails go to facebook, myspace or any website in the world, and these are proper websites people, not the mobile ones with no graphics. Unlike the itouch, the browser on this is a variation of firefox, which has flash making youtube a cinch.
Okay, so that's the internet covered, what about software? how much does it all cost? The answer to the latter is nothing, the answer to the former is there is loads of software, from spreadsheets to games to fantastic media players. If that's not enough, this will pretty much run all of your old palm software on a garnet emulator, your old games via dosbox, and can even be used as a upnp device for streaming media from your PC.
I would warn people, this is nowhere near as polished as the iphone (and doesn't have a phone) or itouch, but has so much more potential as a convergance device than anything out there, also, you will need to have some knowledge of computers, but not too much (plenty of online help). It has developers writing free software for it and can be hacked as much as you want (you could even use it as a touch screen remote control).
In short this is fantastic. I've used mine everyday for a variety of things, especially keeping connected... Oh, and I forgot to add, the look on people's faces as the keyboard comes down, is almost worth the price alone, and then you think that it has speakers, twice the resolution of the apple efforts, and built in GPS, it's a bargain.

Good job within limitations
This is an improvement on the N800 in terms of style and, important for me, speaker volume. The keyboard also makes text entry a little easier while not increasing the weight of the machine. In fact it is not as wide or broad as the N800.

It's great for more or less fully functioning web access but is not a PDA. It also lacks the rather neat finger-based zoom function of the IPod Vision. This is less well realised by a zoom in, and out, button. It lacks PC functionality - something my UX series Vaio has but the Vaio screen is no larger making its work on complex applications difficult.

Remember that this is not a mobile phone but will connect to the world using a bluetooth phone or WiFi.

Overall it does its job well.
