Re: N800 vs N810
 

I use OS 2007HE and it is stable enough.


You can always say that about past versions of any electronic device.


Thank God!

Re: N800 vs N810
 

Since no one :o else has said it here : Welcome!

According to eBay the N800 is running ~$130 (used) and the N810 ~$185(used) I've seen deals on new 810s for ~$225.

Where do you envision using the tablet? Inside or outside ?

The only thing I envy the 810 for is the screen, which is better in bright sunlight ( 810 owners correct me ;) )

The syncher for me was the dual FULL size SD card slots. Especially as I had a few SD cards lying around. If you have mini-sd already, then this is moot :)

As for the OSK on the 800: If I know it's a short message, or search term in google then I use it. Otherwise, anything in xterm or long posts like this I break out the BT kbd or the PC at home.

GPS: Well that's a tough one. There are a large number of threads here about the good/bad aspects of the 810's gps performance...

I personally dislike the All-in-one thing....invariably I break one part of it and render the whole thing DOA. :eek:

Any way, whatever you decide, goodluck

Re: N800 vs N810
 

What's your basis for comparison? Your extensive experience with OS2008 on OMAP2 devices? I've used all released versions of Maemo very extensively, and none of the 770 experiences (with OS2006, OS2007HE, or OS2008HE) stack up against the OMAP2 devices.

I know you have a fetish for the hard case, but most people don't get that worked up over it. The N800 has twice the built-in storage, twice the memory, twice the speed, twice the speakers, many times more removable storage, a better screen and a kickstand. It's a vastly superior device.

Re: N800 vs N810
 

They're absolutely totally identical as far as computing goes, as long as you have both updated to the latest firmware.

When I got the N810 I tried using various features alongside an N800 and everything ran at an absolutely identical speed and identical manner on both tablets.

They're pretty much the same device inside, it's just the external stuff that's different.

Re: N800 vs N810
 

I took you on your word that OS2008HE was unstable. In my experience, OS2007HE is not. Thus, the basis for my comparison was your stated experience combined with my known experience. Since you didn't mention OS2007HE, I figured I'd reference it for completeness.

I store things on the memory card.

As I said, this always happens when electronic devices go from one generation to the next.

Big whoop.

I have a memory card that is just fine.

I don't really know. I do know that it is slightly smaller than the 770 screen.

Again, big whoop.


In your opinion.

Re: N800 vs N810
 

No you don't. The screens are exactly the same size.

Sure, but the technical specifications tend to agree with me.

Re: N800 vs N810
 

I compared the specs when the N800 came out. The N800 screen is slightly smaller than that of the 770. The N810 is the same as the N800.



Whether one device is superior to another in the general sense (rather than saying which is superior in something specific, like processor speed) is subjective.

Re: N800 vs N810
 

I have both devices here in front of me. They're the same size.

Let's make it easy, then. The OP mentions both gaming and browsing. Processor speed is basically the only factor worth considering for these when comparing the 770 to other tablets. Would you say the 770 is slower or faster than an N800?

Re: N800 vs N810
 

I would say that question is irrelevant. If my 770 got destroyed today, I'd buy another 770 rather than a N800. Thus, proving that, to me, the 770 is superior.

Re: N800 vs N810
 

Which is fine for you, but I don't believe is very relevant to the OP, which is really the only point in this thread.
