Pequeño y cumplidor, 2008-02-29
El Nokia N800 es muy practico para el uso diario por su reducido tamaño, su bateria dura lo justo para el uso que se le puede dar. Logicamente por lo limitado en tamaño de su pantalla no sustituye a un Laptop pero si ayuda mucho para estar conectado a la internet y mantenerse comunicado con los amigos y relacionados.
Good general purpose internet use, 2008-02-27
I bought it in 2007 to blog when i was on a week-long bike trip. It served it's purpose well for that. Since then i have been able to find other uses. Recently I was particularly pleased to use its media player to plugin internet radio feeds through my house wireless to my stereo system. No need for an extra subscription to digital radio.
On the downside, i have had difficulty using Web 2.0 applications, particularly Google Maps, flash, and any web application that relies on mouseover events. The laptop is still a better option. But i see this as a device that will be longlasting, in spite of the fact that newer models are already available.

 Could have been much better., 2008-02-26
Why did I get it?
1. To have the internet on the go, wherever Wi-fi is around.
2. Mobile Skype, wherever Wi-fi is around.
3. Read e-books and text files.
So how does it work? This thing is geeky. Pretty much a half-baked product. However, after owning it for 2 months and going through two OS versions and 2 firmware updates (now it on OS2008, second firmware), it is finally coming close to being a somewhat user-friendly device. Before that, there were regular hang-ups and other kinds of problems.
1. Internet works fine, rather fast. Supports all kinds of sites - Flash, Ajax included
2. Skype works well. However, the audio quality can have less hiss
3. Still only one e-book reader soft - fbreader. Pretty cumbersome to make it usable, but now after hours of tinkering this one works OK too with tap scrolling, capability to use landscape and portrait modes, etc.
However, there's one thing that's not going to make this thing a keeper for me. Display quality! All the geeks on the net were drooling about the resolution on this thing, being higher than iPhone, iPod Touch etc. But the resolution is not all! I think, the problem with N800 display is back-light. It's not spread out evenly. Some portions of the screen is lighter than others. That's why it's hard on your eyes. Anyhow, a text looks a bit blurry. That's a killer for me. I think it's actually a systemic problem for Nokia. I saw n95 phone, which had the same problem. I can make comparison with the displays on iPod Touch and Palm TX. Ipod Touch may have a lower resolution, but, boy, how nice it is to read internet pages on that one. I can't wait till Apple loosens its tight grip on the software and people can create e-book readers for this thing. Palm TX has actually a pretty good display - not that bright as N800, or iPod Touch, however I read some 100 books on it and had no problem at all. And both iPod Touch and Palm TX have smaller screens than N800. Today, when you can see gorgeous Samsung screens on cheap $100 phones, it's not acceptable for Nokia to save money on their displays. For $200 I paid for it, I still keep it till a something better comes around, then this brother goes straight to eBay.

 What an awesome product!, 2008-02-26
I first learned of the Nokia N800 by accident just looking at PDA sights on the Internet. The more I learned about it the more I wanted it. A newer model (the N810) came out so I compared the newer and the older models and the older one won hands down. Like the Iphone and Ipod touch, this offers a full internet browsing experience not just mobile sights and the clarity of the screen is stunning. Also it is an internet radio with presets from all over the world so you can use it as a radio. Also, hidden inside the radio but not mentioned in any Nokia Literature, the N800 has a hidden FM radio receiver (the N810 does not have this). With a few commands you can activate it and you use the earphones as antenna - but you can listen thru the speakers. You can also watch videos on You Tube with no problems at all. You can download the latest software that comes with the N810 for free from Nokia. Speaking of downloads, ACCESS has made Garnet (Palm OS) available free for download so you can download Palm programs to the machine. This is a Linux machine but don't let that put you off. I had never used one and have found it easy. Plus there are lots of free software like FBRreader available which lets you make the N800 a digital books reader. They've also just released a program for free which completely simulates a Star Trek PADD from the Next Generation. Whew! Is that enough for you? Oh did I mention that all this is a little over $200 - half of what you pay for an Ipod Touch and you get so much more. PS there are 2 memory chip slots so you can put in as much as 32 gig on cards purchased separately. The N810 only has one micro memory card chip slot. Oh and the battery is easly changed - it is a Nokia battery available at any cellphone supply store unlike Apple where you have to send in the whole unit when the battery runs out. All in all, this is a winner you will not regret.

 2 Units Both Unusable, 2008-02-26
The first unit I received failed to boot. I am now on the second unit and the wireless module has failed. I bought this to replace a Dell Axim. After a month and a half it is starting to look like I should have sent this back before the 30 days were up. I really wanted this to work but it has been a disappointment.
