The N800 is Nokia’s second generation Internet Tablet, replacing the Nokia 770. It offers some serious improvements in the CPU, RAM and looks departments while adding $50 to the price. The device features a phenomenal 4″ 800 x 480 color touch screen, the Opera 8 web browser with Flash 7, a webcam, WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, email, PDF reader, IM and a slew of other apps. It’s not a PDA and it’s not a phone, rather it’s meant to bring the Internet along with you most anywhere with a desktop-like experience. And yes, it fits in a roomy pocket and it runs Linux.
The N800’s beautiful 800 x 480 pixel touch screen is extremely sharp which is a good thing because text is quite small when viewing web pages and PDFs. As with the 770, you can zoom the Nokia N800’s display with the press of a button: there are zoom in and zoom out buttons on the tablet’s top edge. Zoom is fluid and extremely useful given the very high resolution relative to screen size. The built-in RSS reader, email, notes and other applications are easier on the eyes than web browser content since Nokia can control the font point size. It’s a rare pleasure to have a pocketable device with such high resolution, and web browsing and video playback truly shine on the N800.
The Nokia N800 retains the same size and form factor as the 770, but in a slightly smaller package. The button layout is roughly the same, with the scrollpad, back, menu, and home buttons all on the front. The power button has been relocated to the top of the unit next to the zoom in, zoom out, and full screen mode buttons. The right side has the headphone and power adapter jacks along with the stylus. On the right side is the new VGA camera for video chatting (more on that later). The bottom features an SD card slot. That slot is covered by the stand, which is now integrated into the device. Nokia’s focus on good design is apparent with the N800, and it’s a sexy-looking little gadget.
