Alas, my n810 has separated into two pieces, although it still runs if held together by a rubber band.

I still remember when I first read the ads for the N810 ten years ago -- the Nokia Internet Tablet. I thought, that's exactly what I want -- an Internet Tablet. Not a cell phone where I'm paying big $$$ every month just to use the blooming thing. I want to use *WiFi* to browse the web. Now, of course, there are many different kinds of tablets, but the N8x0 series was way ahead of its time.

And, although I confess I have moved on & don't use my N810 anymore, I will always be grateful that it & this forum introduced me to the world of Linux and free & open-source software & software communities. It's my "how I get into Linux" story.
