I happened to see them online, was interested and a few days later, when at a close-out sale at my local compusa I snagged 2 for $500 i want to say last February... fresh on the shelves...I use the wi-fi at school or home, tether on my phone in the car and when hiking or away from wi-fi. Canola has been nice to me, and i tend to forget about my wheel-scrob player...Email, web, music, videos,

I bought a N800, partly because my brother works at Nokia, and helped on its development, and mainly because I like internet on the go, and to read my books wherever I am.It proved to be a great partner in these and in several other stuff.I use it mainly to browse the web, to listen to music (almost unlimited options here: vagalume - lastfm -, internet radio, fm radio, music sharing, and many

Believe it or not, HGTV of all places highlighted the N800 in a segment of "cutting edge" electronics for the home, or something like that. That was the first I've heard of it.I would not consider myself a gadget guy, and I never heard of the handheld "internet tablet" concept before. I was drawn to the N800 immediately, however. I think what I liked about it was that you couldn't label the

I was in the market for an e-book reader (n800+FBreader), and (totally unrelated) a SIP phone (the main ISP in France has SIP access for free, it's called freephonie). A nice and convenient browser was a plus.Now that I have it, I like other things besides e-books: the webradio directory, the web (starting at convenient del.icio.us tags).

I originally bought my 770 as a replacement for my ageing Newton MessagePad 2100. I was especially seduced by the handwriting recognition, albeit that it was a printed recognizer only. HWR is still a rare beast in Linuxland, while for Windows there exists the fabulous PenOffice (based on Newton's HWR algorythms).However, the user experience with said HWR left me desillusioned and the built-in

YOU! Genuinely.If I hadn't read your weblogs and stuff I would still be kicking my ancient Zaurus 5500. Instead, over this last week, I have compiled the varigated snd-* kernel modules for the latest 2008 N880/810 kernel and now, with my brand new Edirol UM-1EX usb-midi converter, I can play the orchestral parts on my Yamaha EZ_AG midi guitar whilst playing the guitar solos on it.

Greetings:The one thing that was an eye opener about the Nokia N800 was the webcam.I thought that buying the N800 I would be able to Video conference with my cousin in Europe.Its been about a year I have the N800 and from what I read in blogs and forums the Webcam is a big disappointment.But I'm sure Nokia will improve this in the next generation tablet.Regards Robert

Reasons (n800): 1) pocket size2) price3) good mediaplayer4) i can use the same software i use on PC (notecase, winzig, gnumeric)5) internettablet usage is really good (skype,msn,mail,...)But i need more:1) vga-video output2) outlook or thunderbird sync3) usb hostI'have to buy a EeePC ;(

Swapped my HTC Trinity for an N800, because I needed Linux inside, SSH and VNC.Using the WM devices 'been a nightmare anyway.

I got myself the n810.Reasons: Skype (WiFi + bluetooth), GPS, Music, screen resolution, ability to slip in pocket, not a phone, Linux.Linux for would-be hacking/development when on the go and eventually also for remote access to my home computer.I love the device, but it could do with:1/ longer battery life (double, triple)2/ more RAM (I know this goes against battery life)3/ more CPU power (

I would say the whole package (n800, in my case).but the real kill features (that make the difference with things like the i-pod touch) are:1) pocketable web radio with stereo speakers2) fully featured browser with flash 9 on board 3) bluetooth support for 3G connection 4) open to 3rd party apps without any cracking5) skype and gtalk (though with a very bad use of the webcam, due to the

Now this is an interesting question, and one that I can't say I really have an answer to (it WAS almost 3 years ago :D).Probably, though, it was because I had been a longtime Newton user who was thoroughly disappointed with the offerings from Palm. I had been considering a Zaurus for a while, but it didn't seem to offer a lot more compared to the Palms and was just a bit out of my price range.I

I used to have a Psion 3a, 5, and 2 5MXs. I missed having a toy so I bought a 770 when the price dived and have had a lot of fun with it (and have also grained an even greater respect for the Psion).I can see a strong future for keeping the screen separate from the device, and I imagine that an n810 style device with truly seemless integration to a phone will be a popular device.

Inspiration for my N810 -Since I got my first pocket radio in about 1960 (wish I still had it) I've been drawn to affordable portable technology. That red transistor radio my father bought me was my inspiration.Since about 1993? I've owned HP95LX, HP100LX, HP200LX, HP Jornada (), IPAQ Compaq (poor), LG VX9800 and all were portable networkable and gotten after the price dropped significantly.I

I was looking for a portable device that I could surf the web, check gmail, and read PDFs on, and muck around with linux... was seriously considering getting a Jornada 680 or 720 and installing linux on it when I learned about the 770. Finally got one in Feb 2007 and used it quite a bit, it was awesome on a trip to Ireland. When the N800 dropped in price I upgraded for more RAM and faster

I second Robert Taylor's comment! Thoughtfix certainly sold me on the benefits of the internet tablets. I got my N800 in Dec 2007, survived the frustration of broken repositories over the holidays, and am now pretty happy with it. I got it because I am a student and have Wi-fi just about everywhere I go. I really don't like the idea of paying a cell phone carrier every month for internet access,

I was shopping for an e-book reader. I've read e-books using PDAs before but wanted a new device and eInk technology looked quite interesting. However I found the eInk readers to be way too expensive and a bit too large for something that could pretty much only be used for reading.Looking for alternatives I came across the N810 and instantly fell in love. Not only is it a decent e-book reader (

N810 - and then an n800 as backup since I wish to hack but don't want to be without.I was looking at UMPCs and tablet PCs (OQO 2 and the TufTab from TabletKiosk), but they were expensive. I wanted something I could see outside, so wanted a transflective screen. The TufTab supposedly had a Linux version with full hardware support.Then the n810 came out. Transflective screen, built-in GPS (

Just traveled through Vietnam and Cambodia and the N800 was invaluable. However I did have to send it to warranty repair for a problem I had since I got it. The included headset and any other headset would only offer mono output not stereo. Has anyone else had this problem? Is that audio port a combo input and output? Not sure what that inline button on the included headset is for. Maybe

In 2006 i brought the 770 just for its wide and wonderful screen and internet browsing. From then on i was completely addicted to the internet tablets. Later on brought the n800 but skipped the n810 because it had nothing much new.... but will definitely buy the next version

* Bought a 770 at launch - loved it* Bought a N800 at launch - developed unhealthy attraction to small, grey devices* Bought an N810 at launch for sysadmin work - was slightly disappointed in the value for money and/or incremental price over the N800* Bought another N800 from play.com for £130 for use as a home media centre controller/VOIP phone/etc etc - love it.Bottom line: *nix sysadmins: buy

I actually decided to pass on the Nokia N800 and N810. It was a very frustrating and tough decision. I finally settled on a used HTC Hermes AKA (Cingular 8525). I wanted something to replace gps nav,Ipod Nano,Sony Ericsson w600i and give me mobile internet through 3G or wifi. At first 3G internet wasn't a consideration until AT&T dropped the price to $30 a month unlimited and we have good 3G

I started looking for a UMPC and my first stop was the iPod Touch. I didn't like the fact that it was designed for music and videos because I was looking for something designed for the internet. I had never heard of the n800 or the n770 until I read a thread on some forum about UMPCs which referenced them. That lead me to a Google search which lead me to this:http://tabletblog.com/2007/09/
