Nokia N810 review

,----[ Quote ]
| Like the N800, the N810 delivers one of the best experiences in mobile web 
| browsing on the market. The new browser that ships with OS2008 is truly 
| outstanding, and most of the rest of OS2008 is pretty darn impressive too. 
| For Linux enthusiasts as well as regular users, Nokia's Maemo-based software 
| platform offers power, flexibility, and ease of use.

Nokia N810: unboxing and first impressions

,----[ Quote ]
| My shiny new Nokia N810 Internet Tablet was delivered yesterday. After 
| fondling it for most of the day, I'm relatively impressed. The N810 is a bit 
| smaller than the N800, which makes it more comfortable to use and easier to  
| tote around in a pocket.

Linux alternative to iPhone

| Since the N800 is open source, there are many third party applications which 
| extend its usefulness and fun factor, such as: 
| 
| Pidgin - full-featured internet messaging client, with AIM, MSN, Yahoo and 
| Jabber support

Nokia N800 As an EBook Reader Using FBReader

,----[ Quote ]
| Though N800 is an Internet Tablet, it can serve as a very good ebook reader 
| too, for those casual/semi-serious readers who don’t want to invest in a 
| stand-alone ebook reader. At its screen size and resolution, reading ebooks 
| is extremely pleasing on the eye. It supports HTML, PDF, etc formats out of 
| the box; but what truly makes it such a good candidate to be used as an ebook 
| reader is the excellent(read Free) ebook reader software available for it 
| called FBReader.

Review: Nokia N800 now with Skype

,----[ Quote ]
| While I enjoyed using the Nokia N800 prior to the firmware upgrade, once 
| having Skype installed made the unit made the Nokia N800 an almost 
| indispensable tool carry around. Having the ability to make phone calls 
| anywhere in the world from any location that has wireless internet was neat. 
| Furthermore with a SkypeIn plan you can easily receive phone calls from just 
| about any place in the world that has wifi. The addition of having Skype made 
| the Nokia N800 a near cellphone like device.

| Not only was there an updated version of the Linux-based Internet Tablet OS 
| and significantly-improved hardware, but Nokia also promised us a 
| fully-functional Skype client for the N800. Nearly six months after the 
| tablet's launch, the Skype client has finally arrived.

Nokia adds FM radio to N800 Internet tablet

,----[ Quote ]
| It's not often that a company ships a gizmo with an entire hardware
| feature unremarked upon and unsupported, then later turns it on free
| of charge - but that's what Nokia did with the new N800 Internet
| tablet. They just released a package which enables an FM radio
| tuner in the unit.
