Nokia N810 Internet Tablet

Nokia isn’t foolish enough to think that its line of Internet Tablets is going to attract everyone. The latest model, the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, features some nice improvements, including a full QWERTY keyboard and integrated GPS. There’s also a more robust Web browser and improved interface, courtesy of the latest Nokia Internet Tablet 2008 operating system. The Nokia N810 Internet Tablet price is available around $400 or less.

Design

With each iteration of the Internet Tablet, Nokia has improved on the design, and the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet is no exception. On front, there’s a 4.1-inch QVGA touch screen that displays 65,000 colors at an 800×480 pixel resolution. It was a pleasurable experience checking out Web sites and viewing images, thanks to the sharp definition and vibrant colors. The touch screen is responsive, though there was a bit of lag but this was more of a performance issue rather than a problem with the touch screen.

To access it, just push up the screen, which locks into place with a satisfying click. The individual buttons are fairly large, but there’s very little spacing between the keys, which makes it a bit cramped. Like the Nokia E61i, the keys are a bit soft to press and didn’t give us the best tactile feedback. The Nokia N810 Internet Tablet comes packaged with an AC adapter, a USB cable, a soft carrying case, a screen cloth, a vehicle mount, and reference material.

Features

The Nokia N810 Internet Tablet is about Internet on the go and touts itself as a Web 2.0-friendly device. The included Nokia browser is now based on Mozilla technology with Adobe Flash 9 plug-in and Ajax support, for access to all your favorite Web 2.0 sites like Google Docs, Flickr, Facebook, and so forth and RSS feeds. It will also work with Nokia’s Ovi Internet service, which includes access to the Nokia Music Store and N-Gage gaming platform, when it’s launched in the United States later this year.

The N810 ships with Nokia’s latest Internet Tablet 2008 operating system, based on Linux platform Maemo 4.0, and brings some of the interface improvements mentioned in the Design section. There are also advanced settings so that the device automatically retrieves your messages on a regular basis, plays a sound when new messages arrive, removes messages older than a specified number of days, and so on. There are instant messaging applications preloaded on the handheld, though they’re limited at this point to just Google Talk and Jabber.

We made a couple of calls using our Skype account, and had no problems making or receiving calls and chats. The tablet comes with Nokia Maps for colored maps and points of interest.

Performance

The Nokia N810 Internet Tablet is equipped with a 400MHz TI OMAP 2420 processor, but the handheld still felt a bit underpowered. Music playback was smooth, but the volume was a bit weak through the device’s speakers and lacked richness and bass. The N810′s GPS capabilities are on par with standalone portable navigation systems. The Nokia N810′s battery is rated for 4 hours of continuous use (with display and Wi-Fi on) and up to 14 days of standby time.
