Nokia N810 Internet Tablet Review

The Nokia N810 uses a landscape-oriented design, and its QWERTY keyboard can be hidden behind its display, which takes up most of the front. The 4.13-inch touchscreen has a WVGA (800 x 480 pixel) resolution, higher than the best Windows Mobile devices, and more than twice the resolution of the iPhone or models running the Palm OS. It is up to the task of displaying most web sites in their standard format, and if the text is a bit small, you can zoom in steps up to 300%. About the only nitpick I have with the display is that it's permanently in landscape mode. It doesn't offer portrait mode (though a few third-party applications do). With a screen this large, it shouldn't surprise you that this isn't a small device. It's not huge, though: 5.0 inches wide, 2.8 inches high, and 0.55 inches thick. It weighs 7.9 ounces. If you want a comparison, it's fairly close to the size of the Palm TX. (see a comparison shot) One of my favorite features is the stand. This is so simple yet so useful. It lets you prop the N810 up so you can easily see it when you're watching a video or typing with an external keyboard.

The N810 may be about the size of a Palm TX, but it includes something the TX doesn't: a keyboard. Because of its generous size this is one of the easiest to type on portable keyboards I've used. It's still a thumb-keyboard, of course, so typing on it is much slower than a full-size one, but it's good enough that I don't mind writing emails that are a couple of paragraphs long, which is something I won't do if I have to peck out the letters with a tiny on-screen keyboard, or write them with something like Graffiti... more>>>
