N810 feels ‘reassuringly solid’

Nigel, writing on Tracy and Matt’s Blog, has had a good play with an N810 and brings us his thoughts in a lengthy and entertaining review.

He says it looks ‘clean and modern’ and fits well in one hand, allowing your other to use the stylus. In a handy Highlights and Lowlights list, Nigel outlines the positives of the device being its ‘speedy performance’, ‘quality construction’ and ‘open source community support’. On the down side, he can only find the fact that the two memory card slots have been reduced to one (but does note that there is 2GB internalised now) and the fact that some of the software has an ‘unfinished’ feel. He says the tablet feels ‘very responsive’ and dubs it a ‘competent’ media player. He concludes by saying that the tablet is ‘tantalisingly close to achieving that nirvana’ that is a replacement for a PDA, MP3 player and a device to make calls proving the N810 remains an exciting prospect in this brave new world of almost weekly device releases.

What are your thoughts on the N810? Does it do everything you want it to? Is there anything you’d improve? Head over to Tracy and Matt’s pages and let Nigel know what’s what.
