I guess I'll do the same thing. Wait a bit. I looked at Intel's MIDs. There are some screenshots at moblin.org. And I'm quite underwhelmed. All these devices they'v shown are sluggish and I don't like the interface...

Didn't I just buy a new Internet Tablet from Nokia???

No, I won't be buying Internet Tablets every 8-12 months.

I think it was a general question...

.wo: You'll also skip because it doesn't resemble a big old feminine hygeine product with that ghastly apple logo on the back. (I too was saddened that my 770 didn't match my apartment full of IKEA furniture.)

So, would I buy an N810. I love my 770 but passed on the N800. I was cheesed off at how it was handled by Nokia (They least they could've done was give 770 owners a trade in credit towards an N800 or something. As much as I love paying to beta test something they never had any intention of carrying forward, I feel a bit cheated.) The N810 seems to be the first mature NIT. It's looks have been refined a bit, and it's a lot more functional. I wish it had a hard case. When's Ari's birthday, maybe we can send him a cake with a hard cover on it to drive the point home. The added functionality and speed give it something the 770 lacked despite my love for it - - usability. I can view Flash now. Niiiiice.

If the price drops to $400, I'll buy it. Besides, with the Canadian dollar the way it is, that'd be like paying $375

Also. Canada has about 8 cities with a million + people in them. We've had internet access available for at least 15 yrs. Some of the afforementioned cities have over 3 million people in them.

Would it be so logistically difficult to have some of these tablets available for us poor Canadians? I drove to Michigan for my 770, but these days to get across the border I'd have homeland security poking around my lower intestine looking for terrorists. (Thank god my company has an office in Michigan, I can get someone to float me a few hundred bucks and bring it up.)

* Edit: Nokia Canada DOES have the n800. Weird. http://www.nokia.ca/link?cid=PLAIN_TEXT_289130

* 2nd Edit: HAHAHHA it's $430 CDN. That's like $450 US right now.

that's a bunch of google images of the same phone. if the iPhone screen was that fragile that they were breaking in droves, all the Apple fan boys would have been suing Apple faster than you can say "user irreplaceable battery."

So, no...it is not as fragile. Unless you go around dropping your internet tablet on a regular basis.

With the force it takes to crack an iPhone screen you would smash clear through the n800 and into the innards.

phi is absolutely right, Apple put a great screen protector on that thing and it's something Nokia would do well to copy. I'm not wild about much of the iphone - but the speed of their UI, the prox-weighted spell correction and the durability of the device are head and shoulders above the rest of the industry. Honestly, before Nokia gets around to their 'mass market' SKU, they would do well to revisit the durability of their screen.

As to the rest of phi's list though: sounds like the 810 already has the light sensor, transflective screen, removed video bottleneck - and rather than just 512MB of flash, it's going to have 2GB in addition to the 256MB internal.
Granted, most of that should be occupied by the maps, but iirc there should be more than 256mb of that free.

But the iPhone's screen is capacitive, no? And the Nokia is pressure-sensitive (is that resistive?). So it's more a question of choosing a different technology than just putting a piece of hard glass in front, isn't it? (And I've used neither, so I don't have a good opinion on which is the best choice. )

It certainly is a beautiful piece of hardware. I'll have to decide between that and the HP 210 Enterprise Ed Handheld.

Waiting on PIM apps.

Not the fanboys! They'd swear it was a feature.

Is that true? I looked at the specs, and it looks to me like Sirius would work with the new o/s because the built in media player is said to handle windows media files, and the mozilla based browser has flash 9. Why would that not do the trick? This will really make the device superb for me because now I can take the n800 around as a mobile sirius player, which will be great.
