- z0mbie2099, on 11/24/2007, -5/+22This is nice, but I'm dying to see Ubuntu & Intel's collaboration.
- cosmo7, on 11/24/2007, -0/+13I have an N800 and it does VNC fine. It makes a great remote when you're watching a movie.
- inactive, on 11/24/2007, -2/+15this thing might be cool, especially if you could VPN + VNC your main machine.
- anshuman, on 11/24/2007, -2/+141) did not see much reference from Linux_point_of_view
2) I am waiting for android based devices now :)
dugged. - inactive, on 11/24/2007, -3/+14I'm shocked. I came here looking for an, "iPhone is so much better" comment, but I didn't find one. Have people finally figured out that these Nokia models:
1] Aren't primarily a phone?
2] Are too different from an iPhone, and even superior in some areas? - craterburnsu, on 11/24/2007, -0/+10I saw those adds as well. They were for the N800, not N810.
- OverlordXenu, on 11/24/2007, -2/+12It's hard to find something that ISN'T superior to an iPhone...
- Tippis, on 11/24/2007, -1/+10Onoz! They have content in their articles, rather than watered-down rehashes of a link to someone else's blog (I'm looking at you engadget/gizmodo)! How horrid! :rolleyes:
- RubberBinder, on 11/24/2007, -0/+8Yeah, the Maemo OS isn't what I'd call nice, it gets the job done, but it leaves a lot to be desired.
- iofthestorm, on 11/24/2007, -1/+7Just skip to the conclusion if you don't want to read the whole thing, but some of us like reading in-depth reviews, especially the ones that Ars puts out.
- wilf_brim, on 11/24/2007, -0/+5You are going to be waiting a long time. Sprint is backing away at full speed. Mainly because the idiots keep wanting to roll it out in areas that are already blanketed by cable, DSL, EVDO, UMTS, and FiOS. No wonder they don't see a market.
- tech42er, on 11/24/2007, -1/+5Not the n810. You probably saw the n800. By the way, where did you see this? I'd love to get a cheap n800.
- arestme, on 11/24/2007, -0/+4Cant wait till WiMAX technology. :)
- sensor, on 11/24/2007, -1/+5What the hell do you mean by choppy? That was a nice demo and it was not "choppy" at all.
- subgeniusd, on 11/25/2007, -0/+4Yes the entire publishing world should adjust to your reading skill level.
- d1on1x, on 11/24/2007, -1/+5The N810 is not a phone, and in that regard very different compared to the iPhone. You should compare it to the iPod Touch if you must.
- EnderTheThird, on 11/24/2007, -1/+5You bring up a good point regarding the iPod Touch. Aside from the iPod's cool presentation and multitouch, I'm expecting the N810 to really shine as far as functionality and features go. Mine shipped out yesterday so I'm expecting to get it mid-late next week. Granted they're very different devices, I'll still be sure to compare it to my mom's iPod Touch. I bought mine for mobile web access without having to bust out a full laptop. I'm anxious to hook it up with my MythTV setup too though, heh. Add the GPS and I can't really complain too much, even though the $450 price tag did hurt compare to the $230 N800, but the extra features were worth it to me. I figure if WiMAX is available in my area in a year or 2, then this thing will still have plenty of uses. I really don't feel like waiting another year or more to get a device like this just so I can have WiMAX.
- tech42er, on 11/28/2007, -0/+3Personally, I don't see the reason to get a $450 n810 instead of a $200 n800. They will both run the same software. THe main difference is the n810's GPS and keyboard. To me, that's not worth the $250. Good if you can afford it, though. :)
- crestfall, on 11/25/2007, -1/+3You just need really big pockets
- stephdau, on 11/26/2007, -0/+2Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme!
I've been wanting to support our iPhone interface on the new version of the S60WebKit browser for months now!
See http://wphoneplugin.org/2007/11/14/taming-the-robo ... - kevcool, on 11/25/2007, -0/+2For the record, the N810 and the Eee PC have the same screen resolution: 800x480. The only difference with a 7 inch screen is that you can see the pixels more prominently. Some would consider that a disadvantage. The Eee PC should really have a resolution of 1280x800. That would be killer.
- inactive, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1That is essentially what the OpenMoko project is.
- tech42er, on 11/28/2007, -0/+1What? Ubuntu and Intel are collaborating on an Linux-based Internet Tablet? THat might keep me from the n800.
- se1zure, on 11/25/2007, -1/+2more content means more information to be tracked back to from google which means more hits in the end.
- syphern, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1It looks really good. But the only thing I really hate about Nokia's software is that its so damn sluggish! I pauses everything you select something. This is for the smart phones the N series. The N73 is so damn slow its unbelievable! I could see from a video of this devise this suffers from the same sluggishness.
- subgeniusd, on 11/25/2007, -1/+2And where did broadband over power lines disappear to?
- OverlordXenu, on 11/24/2007, -2/+3I want this, but I want a Cowon Q5W more...
- se1zure, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1then you didn't watch the video. The dragging and resizing of the windows was horrendous.
- se1zure, on 11/25/2007, -1/+2did you really just say a laptop is a viable replacement for a handheld?
And the EE PC is a ripoff for $400 when you could get, a dual core laptop, with a gig of ram, 120+ gig hard drive, etc for the same price if not cheaper. Who cares if is comes with windows, you could just install your distro of choice over it. - drag, on 11/25/2007, -0/+1Well the EEE is no replacement for the N810...
But the EEE isn't a ripoff. Tell me, exactly, were I can get a 300 dollar Dual Core laptop with a 120+ gig harddrive that I can easily use while standing? I do that with my EEE all the freakin' time. Type one handed while standing... laying on my back and holding it up and typing with my thumbs, etc etc.
Apparently it's difficult to get a sense of scale here. Take two DVD cases and stack them on top of each other. That's roughly the same size as a EEE. The EEE would make a much better alternative to the N810 then some AMD-based laptop would make for a EEE. - wilf_brim, on 11/24/2007, -4/+4The GPS looks decent, but the Asus EE PC looks like a better deal right now 350-400 for a full keyboard, much bigger screen, and Linux OS.
- miocid31, on 11/26/2007, -0/+0GOt my device and its stalled and crashed on me a couple of times. Today, the touch screen was not responsive and had to close it!
- EdwardsNH, on 11/25/2007, -2/+2I think in the next year to year and a half, these things will have some real power in them. Of course I really want one now :)
- blesbok, on 11/24/2007, -3/+0Would be much cooler if it had a phone function. I would much rather have an 8925 than have to carry this and a phone even though the screen is significantly smaller.
- elvenseven, on 11/24/2007, -9/+4Pretty choppy performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dywlV40L3rA
- Picer, on 11/24/2007, -12/+3Really I'm getting tired or Ars they should condense their articles, its full of ***** they could have done it at 3/4 page max.
- domprofesor, on 11/24/2007, -11/+0Very laptop like. But if you want a clamshell check this out
http://domprofesor.freehostia.com/customizable-cel ... - sniperboy67, on 11/24/2007, -28/+3i wish that the Linux community made the iphone it would probably be cheaper or even free with the ability to pirate movies like a pocket pc kind of
- sniperboy67, on 11/24/2007, -28/+2i wish the Linux community made the iphone it would probably cheaper and maybe even free and you would have the ability to access a desktop like a pocket pc but yeah you could program on the road when you dont have your laptop that would be awsome.
