good buy at the time... Feb 10, 2010
Bought this as a gift for my wife way way back in 2005-6 ish. It was excellent back then. Had to ebay it off in this era of smartphones and still got a pretty good price for it!

little old but a true work horse at hart. Jan 14, 2010
I love this thing, I cant seam to put it down. if you are a geek or admin and you have not used a Nokia tablet your missing out. I only wish I had picked up one sooner. the specs leave a bit to desired but then again for a 2 or so year old device what do you expect. all in all I would buy again in a hart beat.
the only issues I ran into was updating the OS to os2008 you need to use the USB ports on the back of your computer at least on my system. love the fact that they included xterm and a nice package manager made adding apps a breeze. don't forget to enable the "maemo extras" repository.

Incredible with a bit of work Jun 07, 2009
If you're the technical type of person, this thing is amazing. You can get it to do just about anything to an extent. It's a low-resource environment, so HD video and graphically intense games aren't really an option, but that's basically it. Especially now, a years after it's release, it's really developed.

Canola, one of media players available for the n800, puts the iPod to shame, it covers media in either SD card slot, including music, playlists, radio streams, videos, and images. It also has a plugin for the built in FM radio.

There are several games available besides the ones included in the preinstalled software, things like Quake 2, Metal Blob Solid, and Beneath a Steel Sky.

Did I mention that it's hackable? Linux gurus are in a familiar environment, you can use tools you use every day or install your own. Compiling for it is a bit tricky, but you typically find binary packages now anyway. The 256mb of flash memory is limiting, yes, until you have it booting from a nice big SD card. If you like to have a device be thoroughly personalized on a technical level, this is like a dream. If there isn't already a book about hacking the n800, one could rather easily be written. It's a whole lot cheaper than most devices that fill the same function, and a great place to start with this type of tinkering.

Basically, it's a hacking toy, and not for the casual user. You can make it just about whatever you want, but it takes a bit of work to get it perfected for it.

Cool gadget! I wish it had more power... May 28, 2009
I find the N800 to be an awesome toy! I've tried to use it a couple of times as a replacement for a computer, but have gotten tired of it very quickly.
The small screen is inadequate for feature-crowded sites like amazon or facebook... one has to pan around to much. Furthermore, when I bought it I expected more performance out of the browser... I just find it a little too slow, and hard to work with if you like tabs (who doesn't nowadays).
It does however work quite nicely for watching youtube videos and other non-HD content.
Since Maemo is an open platform, you have access to millions of applications. The N800 can become a fancy MP3 player, movie player, handheld game device, etc...
It is not a cellphone! Nor does it need to be one.

Great Micro Internet Tablet Jan 14, 2009
I first viewed this product in a computer store in Copenhagen in the spring of 2007 and had to have one. As soon as I got back to the states I started bugging the folks at Best Buy and Fry's and finally got one from Fry's. These things, once they hit the market,literally flew off the shelves. Up until this last year I was a total road warrior, working for a major computer company and I had this unit with me all the time. I had trained on other larger touch screen tablets, so working with this one was a breeze. The screen has incredible resolution and I love it. The software support and especially the 2008 upgrade was great. The only real issue that I have had is that this unit does not support the SDHC chips, so you are limited in the amount of data that you have onboard at any given time, however, I carry a small case with a full load of the 2 G chips. Works great for either music or video too.
The one caution that I would make and I found this out the hard way is that the touch screen is somewhat sensitive and if you carry it in your pants pocket in the provided soft sleeve, it will have problems and need to be replaced. Mine spazed out and I had to send it in. Cost about $125 to fix. Bottom line, get a hardcase, which I should have known better and done from the beginning.
