Nokia N810 Review
20 of 20 people found this review helpful.
Weight of N810 exceeds that of its predecessors, though insignificantly. 226 grams is much in comparison with the mobile phones, however it is little in comparison with any UMPC available nowadays. The weight could be a little bit smaller, but for the metallic front panel of the handheld and the battery cover.
Coming back to the device dimensions, first of all they are caused by the screen size - a 4,1” diagonal that sports a resolution of 800х480. It is the best screen among all PDA-phones, the image quality being maximal, the view angles excellent.
The arrangement of control elements on the front panel of N810 essentially differs from that of N800. The navigation button with the OK label on it is unavailable when the Nokia novelty is closed. Only two keys are left on the face panel: the lower key is used to return to the previous page of the internet-browser, to switch to the previous view in applications and keeping this key held shuts the running application. The key "home" calls upon the menu of the launched applications (there is an opportunity to shut an application), holding the key allows to return to the desktop, keeping it held once again switches to the latest launched application. The objective of the camera for video calls is found near these controls. The luminance sensor is a novelty for Nokia tablets as well. Employing it not only increases the time of independent work, but also allows working comfortably both in the darkness and in a well-lit environment - the screen brightness is adjusted automatically.As well as with N800 the battery capacity makes 1500 mAh, but the battery model itself is more up-to-date, the battery charge level is metered more precisely. The battery lifetime is an unquestionable advantage of the new gadget. As for this parameter, it’s the most "durable" device in the market.
The N810 desktop is divided into three working areas. On the left there is the Task Navigator the bottom part of which displays launched applications and the upper part hosts the icons granting quick access to the Browser, Contacts and Applications. Contacts and Browser are replaceable and Applications can be customized.The status bar is found at the top of the screen, displaying service indicators like the battery life meter, the screen backlighting and the sound volume levels, etc. The user can customize the order in which these fields follow or remove some of them from the screen completely. The indicators showing the battery charge, the connection and the GoogleTalk service status cannot be removed from the status bar.The main part of the screen hosts the area for desktop built-in applets. The applets can be toggled and dragged freely at any time. Some of them can be resized. The new version became more easy-to-use - they aren’t locked into position, can be moved at any moment and can overlap (the transparency effect is employed). The desktop applets grant quick access to the applications, RSS-news headlines, clock, weather forecast, Internet radio, etc. N810 enjoys the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. The Flash 9 plug-in provides for a full-blown navigation practically through any Websites. The AJAX full support is quite to the point. YouTube, Google Docs and Google Reader - all of them can no problem run on N810.
