Nokia N810

Darren · Jun 11, 2008

Just bought the Nokia N810, What a great piece of kit. Perfect for on the move. Just wondering if anyone else has one and knows of any good places for applications.

I was going to get the Asus Eee Laptop and decided on this. IMO a good move.

When I saw Nokia in the thread title I thought it was the latest spammer and was looking to delete your account, almost!

I have the older N770 and it's great on the move, you can get an MSN client and I use RSS to update its homepage with the latest forum threads, it's quick and easy to read although replying is a bit slow.

I use it more as a means to watch what's going on without being tied to my laptop day and night.

They aren't bad for movies either and the WiFi usually finds a good signal.

I take it you can connect it to your home network/router or is it only WiFi?

The device has no ethernet but can connect to a network wireless. There is also a bluetooth option.

I found the 770 very slow and cumbersome and chopped it in for an Ipod Touch which is twice the machine.

For simple browsing, the 810 is fine although the screen is not that sharp, for that bit more then the EEE is the piece of kit for on the move working.
