Buy.com has dropped the price on the Nokia N810 yet again, this time to $179.99 with free shipping. One month ago to the very day, it was on sale for $199. That’s a savings of a certain amount of dollars! Probably twenty or so!
The N810 runs a flexible, bendable version of Linux and features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4.1-inch 800×480 touchscreen, 400MHz processor, 2GB of internal memory expandable via miniSD, built-in GPS, integrated webcam, and a Mozilla-based web browser with Flash support.

Is it any good?
I just got mine in the mail yesterday from buy.com. It’s great. There’s definitely a learning curve, and it doesn’t come with a printed manual – just on-screen help – although you _can_ download a full manual in PDF from Nokia’s web site. I was a little disappointed in the available applications until I figured out that you can tell it to show 3rd-party applications on the application manager. After that I was able to install all kinds of goodies and customize the device to be exactly what I wanted. At $179, it’s a bargain for someone like me, who has a laptop and a desktop, but wants something small to keep in the car for occasional web access via wifi. It’ll be great to be able to look at Craig’s List, movie schedules, and check my e-mail from something that I can tuck in the glove compartment.
Wow – great response, thanks. One quick question – where are you getting all that wifi in your car?
I want to buy a Nokia N810, but i dont have any cridet card right now so please tell me another way to buy this cell.

hello..friends
i decided to buy a nokia N810 ,but i have doubt about this device that is, is it useable as gsm phone by inserting gsm sim ?.please help me I’m in big confuse.
thanks
Uh oh, glad I saw this. I’m almost certain this device is *not* usable as a GSM phone, nor is there a space for a SIM card.
If its any consolation, you can probably use this as a VoIP phone when you have a WAN or WiFi connection.
thanks a lot,finally my big confuse solved.so now i dropped N810.now i willing toward..iphone.but i have some few doubts about iphone can i ask..u
This is a good site, and I’ll try to help but hardly an expert on the iPhone. You might be better off going to a forum dedicated to the iPhone or Apple – there must be thousands out there.
You can learn how to use it by going to the internet tablet school website.
