 The Nokia N810 gets a lot right, it's true. You won't find a better Web browser on a device this small, but it still isn't a perfect experience, thanks to lagging performance. Calling with Skype is great, but you'll still need a cell phone for tethering on the road, and doesn't that defeat the purpose? The maps program is great, but GPS performance and underpowered processing couldn't keep up. Also, though the device is plenty capable, it doesn't come with many apps to harness its robust system's potential. We'd like to say all it needs is a cellular radio, but really this device needs to be faster in every way. We'd like to see apps pop open instantly, and YouTube videos play smoothly. And we'd happily trade the keyboard for these improvements, and go back to typing directly on the screen. Release: November 2007. Price: $420.Pros: Great calling, surprisingly, with Skype. Best internet browser for any device this size. Lots of internal memory and an external slot. Fantastic screen, especially for videos.Cons: Buggy. Doesn't come with much pre-loaded software. Slide-out keyboard isn't better than previous, onscreen option. Did we mention buggy? GPS doesn't live up to expectations. |
