Great. Portrait mode isn't great for all web pages, obviously. But for text-heavy pages like http://mobile.nytimes.com, for example, it's perfect. It's also good for browsing facebook's mobile portal. Obviously if one desires to ENTER text, landscape mode is better, both on the n800 and, especially, for when one wishes to use the n810's hardware keyboard.

It's possible to setup multiple accounts using the built in email program which I've setup both a googlemail and sky webmail account.

Googlemail was easy to set up (pop mail) but the sky webmail running IMAP took a bit of fiddling to get it running.

You can view each account seperatly if you click file > view

If you need help with the settings I should be able to help.

Re: Please talk me into keeping my N810 ...
 

Thanks, Sevep. I have a family account (through our ISP) that I've set up through the e-mail wizard, but for my hotmail, I want to be able to view the online or mobile versions of hotmail. Be it through microB, tear, or midori, it's been cumbersome so far, if it even works at all. The MSN Mobile site works great through my Blackberry, so it should stand to reason that the tablet should work through the mobile site just as well (or better). I'll keep researching the site and fiddle some more at home tonight, and start a new thread if I keep hitting walls with this one.

Thanks for your input.

So is your wife gonna get this tablet or not?

Proposed solution: buy another!

Re: Please talk me into keeping my N810 ...
 

I think thats a good idea and I've already set this up to handle my familys Sky webmail accounts to save cluttering up the devices inbox.

To save time I've used the remember the password option so when I click the link I've created for my ISP's webmail it automatically fills in the login details. Great for multiple accounts should you need to.To protect your account details you might want to consider enabling the auto lock in the control panel in case you ever lose your tablet or it gets stolen.

Funny that you asked, Im2! Why, just last night, she looked over at me, clutching the tablet, and laughed. There is a method to my madness, however. My wife enjoys gadgets, more than most women, if they are handy and simple. She gets frustrated easily. I'm in the process of loading up two browsers (tear and midori) with most of her favorite bookmarks, learning my way around the device, simplifying the desktop, bluetoothing pics and videos of our little girl over to the Nokia, adding programs that I like and maybe a few games that she might. I'm checking some of her favorite portals where she occasionally fires up a video to see if they work on the tablet.

Basically, I've talked her into taking a second chance on the Nokia tablet, and if her second impression is good, then she'll use it. A lot. Which is why I arrived here a week ago. She hits the hay fairly early each night, so I'll always have time with my new baby, even if she adopts it as well. :)

Probably like in most families, "if the momma ain't happy, ain't nobody gonna be happy!"

Check out mytube. It does fullscreen youtube videos very well. I actually prefer watching youtube on my tablet rather than my desktop now.

Also: I've decided that hotmail sucks on pretty much every browser / OS except Internet Explorer on Windows. I suspect they've engineered it that way. So I've been moving everything to gmail, which works great with all my e-mail clients (POP and IMAP) and most of my browsers.

Re: Please talk me into keeping my N810 ...
 

I find digi@scene as the best youtube client until date on the tablets. Please install and try. Somehow it hasn't got the deserved credit.

Re: Please talk me into keeping my N810 ...
 

Probably the reason is that you need to install QT which is quite big :)

About Hotmail - why don't you use the mobile version, should be lighter than the desktop one:
http://mail.live.com/m/

Hm, just tried going to http://mail.live.com with Tear and iPhone user-agent and discovered that live.com has a little better looking iPhone version than the mobile version.

Re: Please talk me into keeping my N810 ...
 

Thanks -- I tried the mytube app last night and I was pretty impressed. Sounds like there's another program (digi@scene) that is good too -- I'm assuming it downloadable via the app manager?

As for my hotmail issues, there's a thread that was discussing this back in late '08, and it sounds like a similar problem to what I'm facing. I don't have my tablet with me, but with each browser I used when pulling up the mobile version, it would either pull up the full site instead (which was a mess, at best), or take me to the mobile page that touts all the wonderful things the mobile site can do, but not the sign-in page. On my phone/BB, the linki Bundyo offered pulls up perfectly to the sign-in page. Not so on the 810 (at least for me). The paragraph below is from a thread ending last December, but I'm unsure of how to access about:config, and then how to alter the 'useragent' file.

May be the user agent settings can help. It depends on the user agent. Phone browsers issue a (nonchangeable) mobile user agent, while desktops (and the N810) issue a user agent for a full web site.
You can change the user agent by about:config and then search for 'useragent'.
