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.

Perfect for use on the go, the N810 includes an integrated GPS receiver and comes with preloaded maps that enable you to browse detailed locations, search for street addresses, find various points of interest (POI) as well as nearby Wi-Fi hotspots. You can also purchase an optional subscription to the Wayfinder Maps application for enhanced mobile navigation. Other features include

Amazing Device!

The Nokia N810 is a great device for browsing the web, Listening to music, or sending emails. The screen is large and high quality. It even has a gps. The ipod touch can't do halve of the stuff the N810 can do. I would really recommend this device over the ipod touch.

Excelente Producto

Excelente producto, no es una ultraportatil y tampoco es una netbook, simplemente es el intermedio que te permite navegar, ver documentos, hojas electronicas, oir musica, en lo particular la utilizo para conectarme a la maquina de mi trabajo, muy recomendable por la movilidad que tiene.

Keyboard not user friendly.

Reviewed by Stan Wayne, 2009-08-29

I bought this to use as an alternate method to do e-mail and SMS on my phone. I did not want a new phone or all in one phone. It does what it says very well, connects to internet using wifi with little or no difficulty, is very well made, and has a great feel to it. It has the quality I have come to expect from Nokia. The limiting factor is the keyboard. The top row of keys are too close to the screen and are difficult to use, to use the number keys, you have to hold a function key down, and the keys are quite wide so you cannot hold the device in your hands and type. I ended up returning it as the keyboard was too hard to use and did not give me the functionality I was looking for. I even considered using it with an alternate (bluetooth) keyboard, but mine was not compatible.

I love this device!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this a few months back and have been very happy with it. I didnt want an iPhone to get wrapped up in bondage with a 2 year contract and an extra "mandatory" $30 a month for data rate. The n810 is a nice device, can play my media on it, use it at essentially any wi-fi hotspots, use Yahoo, Google, make Skype calls. I bought it with a need for a development platform to use the device as a speech augmentation device for my son with autism to allow him to communicate better. Its an awesome device. I may even get the n900 when it comes out, regardless of the screen being a tiny bit smaller and it being on T-Mobile. The device rocks though.

Very disappointing

Reviewed by Beanhauer, 2009-08-09

I dreamed of buying this for months. I needed my contact information in my pocket, and needed to be able to pull up to a Starbucks or Panera and get information off the web. My thought was that that level of internet access would get me by, without having to pay for an expensive data plan.

I finally got the Nokia N810 for $200. I'm trying to make it work for me, but it is a disappointment. It is deadly slow. Web pages take so long to load that it really isn't worth the trouble. I find myself giving up and waiting until I can get to my laptop. Applications are free, but extremely limited. An iPod Touch would have similar functionality, but with thousands of apps. The GPS takes a very long time to sync with the satellite. The screen has excellent resolution, but is still too small to display a web page well. If you try to scroll, you're in for another long wait. The built-in contact manager only holds emails and phone numbers...no addresses.

On top of everything, while it runs Adobe Flash 9, it does not run Adobe Flash 10...which is required to watch The Colbert Report. I tried downloading Fennec, but it crashes immediately, so that's no help.

I am a technical person, and like Linux. I am not living the kind of life where I can spend two hours finding a good contact manager, or days search web boards to make my GPS work.

So, sadly, this has not turned out to be a good purchase for me.
