Latest Nokia N810 is the latest addition to Nokia’s Internet Tablet lineup. The Linux-based mobile device offers an assortment of new features and drops some of the familiar functionality found in the previous model, the N800. The N810 also ships with Internet Tablet OS 2008—the new version of Nokia’s Internet Tablet operating system—which is built on Maemo 4.0.

The most significant additions to the Nokia N810 are a thumb keyboard that slides down from the device and a built-in GPS receiver. Despite the added features, the N810 is noticeably smaller than the N800 and fits better in a pocket. The bezel around the screen is slimmer on the N810 and most of the buttons have been moved off of the face of the device. The whole thing looks sleeker and more attractive. The directional pad is smaller and is placed to the left of the keyboard on the sliding panel. The menu button is right below the directional pad. The escape and home buttons are still on the front of the device, but they are on a single slim rocker button that runs along the left side.

Instead, the N8xx is a full-featured, fully functional computer from the late 1990’s/early 21st century, that fits in the palm of your hand, and weighs about 8 ounces. Simply think about the specs — 400 MHz CPU (somewhat faster, clock for clock, than a Pentium II or P III or PIV), 800-by-480 display, 256 Mbytes of RAM, and 2 Gbytes of storage, with one card expansion slot. (Currently limited to 8 Gbytes, future limits will probably be 16/32 Gbytes). This is a powerful and flexible piece of very open hardware.

Nokia N810 Review by mobilereview  “One of the big plus-points of the N810 is the integrated GPS receiver and pre-loaded maps. It comes with tons of POIs, and you have the option to upgrade to Wayfinder’s voice-guided navigation. You can easily carry it in your pocket or in the car. The large 4.13 inch , 800×480 pixels resolution widescreen is great to fit in your palm, and with an optional 10GB memory card you can carry up to 7500 songs. Nokia claims up to 45 hours of music playback on the device.

Nokia N810 Review by engadget “The N810 could really benefit from the room of a few millimeters more slide if you ask us, but everything else was pure N-series tablet, and N800 (and possibly N700) owners can expect to get all the same software updates when the N810 launches. Check out the pictures, including some size comparisons to the iPhone.”
