A very positive review, and a well researched one at that, at least the reviewer took the time to install some apps from Maemo!
The "lack of a sim card" comment, though, shows how even the most literate (and sympathetic) reviewer can find it difficult to get past the "Nokia" name on the front.

It is sure nice to read somebody say something positive, once in a while.

as an n800 owner, I read the article more as a review of 2008, and was very pleased. I read el reg a lot, and although they tend to a tad cynical, the reviews are usually refeshingly honest. I was very pleased to see the number of n800 owners plugging the little marvel.
thereg reviews the N810.
