Nokia N810 Internet Tablet


(3.5 out of 5)

MSRP: $479


A sleek and versatile gadget that puts (nearly) the whole Web, a thumb-friendly keyboard, and GPS in the palm of your hand.

Review date: Dec 21, 2007

Someday we’ll all be carrying around devices that deliver the full Web in the palms of our hands. No, not the crippled, crudely formatted Web you get with most smart phones. We’re talking about YouTube, Flickr, Skype, Facebook, and everything else you’re used to on your laptop. Nokia’s N810 Internet Tablet, now in its third iteration, makes a good case for leaving your notebook behind with a full keyboard, slimmer design, and GPS navigation.   While $479 isn’t cheap, this do-it-all gadget is much less expensive than bloated Windows-based UMPCs. The N810 isn’t easy enough for Mom to use—and we wish it were a better multitasker—but it’s an impressive piece of hardware that should appeal to more than just Linux geeks.
