Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good internet tablet, but not a PIM Comment: Some random thoughts. Great price for some nice hardware. The fit and finish is great. The device is a good internet tablet, but does not have strong PIM functionality. Additional community software is helping in this area. If Linux is your thing, there are a lot of additional packages out in the community that really expands the functionality. Wifi and tethering to Nokia N75 work great for connectivity anywhere. Very smooth. Built in email client has some performance issues with a large Google account via IMAP. The latest update of the tablet has helped. By the way, make sure you flash the most current firmware right out of the box. GPS is cool, but the maps are OK for rural America. Still looking for the "killer app" that uses this feature. The Turn by turn functionality is an additional subscription to the built in software. Customer Rating: Summary: Worth every penny. Comment: I live in Germany so no iphone for me, but I love this Nokia. I bought it to use as a PDA but the internet feature is great. I'm writing this review on it at a cafe in Ireland. It picks up networks quickly and the d/l speed is great. The screen is beautiful and the touch sensor works well. The chassis is beautiful as well and the keyboard is big enough for my fat fingers. The build quality is excellent and the buttons are useful and laid out well. The battery lasts plenty long enough (6-7 hours straight use) and charges quickly. The only things I don't like are that the flip stand is a little sharp on the edges and irritates my fingers a bit when I hold it and flash games can't keep a good framerate (it comes with some good games that work well though). Customer Rating: Summary: Great device for the technically inclined Comment: Out-of-the-box this device can surf the web, check your mail, do instant messaging, make VOIP calls, play mp3s and movies, and show you where you're at via the built-in GPS. Keep in mind the regular N810 can only connect to the internet through Wifi or a tethered cell phone. For the slightly more adventurous you can add more repositories to the default list (start at http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.php?lang=en&system=maemo4) and start installing all sorts of applications and games. For the true geek, this thing is running Linux and is wide open for doing whatever you want with it. They even have a live CD with a complete development and emulation environment - though I had trouble getting a hello world working from the liveCD. Also, if the default BusyBox Linux doesn't suit you, there's work on getting Ubuntu to run on it. The GPS functionality is both great and awful at the same time. The bad - this device is horrible at getting a lock on the GPS satellites. Even with the latest OS update (which was supposed to fix this issue) it can take anywhere from 1 minute to over 20 minutes(!) for it to locate where you're at. So no hopping in the car and expecting this thing to direct you to the nearest shop. Even if you had a lock, the included mapping software only includes route finding if you pay for a subscription. The good - Meamo Mapper (a third party application you can install) allows you to cache maps from Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and a handful of other maps (see http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5209). And if you're really inclined, it's fairly easy to make your own custom maps for it (think trail or park maps). Maps do take up a lot of space, so invest in the largest SDHC micro (with an SD mini adapter) you can find. The included maps takes up 1.5GB of the 2GB internal card (has all of the USA in the one I bought). If you really want the functionality of Maemo Mapper with a decent GPS receiver, you can connect a bluetooth enabled GPS receiver and use it instead of the built-in one. But that's yet another device to carry with you. Overall, a very good device. If only Nokia could improve the GPS functionality, I'd give it 5 stars. Customer Rating: Summary: almost perfect, better that ipod touch Comment: A great device as long as you understand it's limitations. It is Linux based. Those used to unix environments will benefit, but is not necessary. As soon as you get the device you should update the firmware. It's 400 mHz processor with limited memory. Browser works well, but complex websites will bring the machine to a hault. Youtube works well directly in browser. Battery life is great. I only need to charge at night. Screen is awesome, 800x480 resolution puts apple products to shame. GPS is slow for initial position lock, but adding a-gps software helps. Included map program is crippled, but free alternatives are available. No easy way to view microsoft documents. Built-in camera is useless and not well supported. I like the keyboard. Much easier to type on than ipod touch/ phone, but it depends on the person - try before you buy. Check out the lists of maemo apps available - quite impressive. My most used apps are VNC, maemo mapper, mauku, chat, modest email and ssh. Nice to have a terminal! Be sure to check out the Internet Tablet Talk to check out the support group.
