PC Pro gives the N810 3/6
Read the review here. http://www.pcpro.co.uk/pcpro/reviews...et-tablet.html
I can't help thinking that the reviewer didn't really grasp the fundamental concept of the N8x0 series, although he's bang on the money about the PIM functionality. |

"Ultimately, it's a niche product with potential. If we'd been able to slip a SIM into it and use it anywhere, it would have been a whole lot more."
I don't understand where the reviewer keeps his head.. he's got a phone with a SIM card in it somewhere on his person anyway, doesn't he? Completely independent of whether he chooses to bring the N810 along or not. So what keeps him from using the N810 "anywhere", as he says? (I would have added the above as a comment to the review, but as that requires a rigorous registering process including even my phone number I won't bother.) |

This just hammers in what I've noticed for a while - Nokia has NOT successfully marketed the Internet Tablets, as every single negative review mentions either the lack of a cellular antenna or office editing.
It's an Nseries, not an Eseries. That means the focus is on video, internet, music, and imaging. That's it. Anything else is fluff. EDIT - actually, after reading the first paragraph, I'm almost convinced that putting the Nseries moniker on the tablets was a poor choice. In any case, I've noticed that reviewer after reviewer knocks the thing for 'missing' something that was never advertised to be included. I personally love my tablet, but like I said, Nokia's done a horrid job of actually marketing the thing. |

Because its from Nokia people automatically think "phone". They can't get their heads around it.

Re: PC Pro gives the N810 3/6
The reviewer is just Slumbering Away, like so many others, through the greatest social transformation since the telephone - the Walkaround-Web!
The entire Internet Tablet line from the 770 to the N8X0 family (including support communities like Maemo, itT, Thoughtfix and others) has been steadily building towards a future that is now, finally, within months of being here - the Always On/Everywhere Walkaround Web - on the Nokia WiMax Internet Tablet. But, you wouldn't know it from the PCPro article, he's still working from the soon-to-be-ancient cellphone-mentality. |

Some people probably will see it as a fulfillment of what they're after; others will take the "use it anywhere" line, and still want GSM. Oh, well. |
Re: PC Pro gives the N810 3/6
I can understand that to many people a $400 device that in their eyes is mainly useful for browing the web (since they are not interested in vnc, Gameboy emulators and whatnot) is an expensive toy. I also suspect many here would rather have a one-device solution but are willing put up with the tablet's limitations because there isn't such a thing right now.
