almost perfect, better that ipod touch, 2008-08-23
A great device as long as you understand it's limitations. It is Linux based. Those used to unix environments will benefit, but is not necessary.
As soon as you get the device you should update the firmware.
It's 400 mHz processor with limited memory. Browser works well, but complex websites will bring the machine to a hault. Youtube works well directly in browser.
Battery life is great. I only need to charge at night.
Screen is awesome, 800x480 resolution puts apple products to shame.
GPS is slow for initial position lock, but adding a-gps software helps. Included map program is crippled, but free alternatives are available.
No easy way to view microsoft documents.
Built-in camera is useless and not well supported.
I like the keyboard. Much easier to type on than ipod touch/ phone, but it depends on the person - try before you buy.
Check out the lists of maemo apps available - quite impressive. My most used apps are VNC, maemo mapper, mauku, chat, modest email and ssh. Nice to have a terminal!
Be sure to check out the Internet Tablet Talk to check out the support group.

iphone doesn't even come close, 2008-08-21
granted you must have some aptitude with open source technology (i doubt the negative reviews were from technically knowledgable users), and programming experience would make your experience even more rich. well made, open software readily downloadable (using debian based os). sold my laptop and just bring this gem with me along with my wallet wherever i go.
Very useful when traveling, 2008-08-09
Small size makes it very useful when traveling. No need to lug a laptop just to check e-mail.

 Some good, some bad., 2008-07-21
If you're looking for a mobile way to browse the internet from a wifi connection then this device is awesome. It has by far the best portable wifi web browsing I've seen.
If you're looking for a fun, small, portable linux platform to play with, this is a great place for that.
If you're looking for a GPS device, do not buy the n810 for this. The GPS is honestly terrible compared to anything I've ever used. Not only does it truly take 5-10 minutes to get a lock as other reviews say, the resulting nav data is lagged and innacurate. I had read that it took a long time to get a lock, which I could deal with, but not driving down the road the nav showing my position where I was a good 20-30 seconds ago, too late to make that turn now... Inacuracy problems were constant too. Driving down the road and watching the device give your location as going through a lake 500 ft to the side is amusing until you realize how much you just spent on a device with useless gps.
