Nokia N800 Internet Tablet Review

by Don Lipper

- Until you use it, Nokia's N800 Internet Tablet seems impressive. Designed to let you surf the Web and access e-mail while on the go, the $400 device has a svelte design and a strong collection of software. Ultimately, however, working with the N800 is a frustrating experience.

User Reviews for Nokia N800 (SD/miniSD/microSD/MMC Card, Opera 8)

Reviewed by: drforbes

Duration of ownership: 6 Months

Strengths: Excellent sound and video; very pleasing and light weight with recent update by Linux that has resulted in being able to update memory to 16GBs; make video calls via Skype or Bluetooth and the ability to load web pages very quickly. Opera browser!

Weaknesses: Presently no Office Suite or the ability to sync with ones computer.

Overall Evaluation: Presently this product is somewhat limited but it has an Open Source Linux OS. This product is just starting to take off after a challenge was presented to IT/Programers to make applications for this product. This has already resulted in an upgrade to its OS making it able to upgrade memory to 16GBs and a much needed software program for an enhanced Skype application with many more software programs and applications to surface over the next several months.

Strengths: Great screen contrast. Very versatile. Strong Bluetooth and Wifi transceivers for greater net availability

Weaknesses: Screen is small and font can be a challenge for the 'mature' crowd. :-) The software is still a little buggy and does need some 'linux' knowledge to fully unlock the capabilities of the unit.

Overall Evaluation: This is an awesome tool. I wanted a lost cost, portable PC. This fits the bill. I strongly recommend the OS2008 update. The performance boost, bug fixes and added features are well worth the 'free' upgrade. OS2008 comes with a *lot* of software add-ons. There seems to be enough internal memory to accommodate all of the features I'm interested in, including grocery list management. :-)
