Nokia N800 Portable Internet Tablet
I have been pleased with the product.

Very satisfied with the seller.

Although the N800 is still being sold, I would suggest anyone who considers this to research the purchase. The OS is great, and there were a lot of community-based applications developed. That said, with the N900 Nokia signaled this platform was a dead end with no further development, and the development community has been encouraged to move on also.
I still carry my N800 as a substitute for a laptop (sometimes) I couldn’t see buying one of these now when the Droid platform is – overall – much more portable and powerful.
FYI the specs here are wrong – the N800 will accept up to TWO full-sized 32GB SDHC cards (you probably need to update the OS, although that is made easy to do).

first off lets get to the basics, this is not a phone. the n800 is a internet device, which can do almost anything a desktop can, however there are limits on this little babe. NO need to worry about viruses, well linux applications can only be installed on this, this means you cant just install firefox from the web like you do on your desktop. every application you need is there. I had this tablet for a year and half now, I never get bored with it. streamtuner application lets you stream and record music, variety of emulators like gameboy, gameboy advance. gamegear, nintendo, and super nintendo, media player, youtube application save and download them, google voice application, and the list goes on. people always mistake the n800 for a phone, its not, but you can make calls with wifi though. this is definitely better than a ipod touch, well that is what I think. sound quality on this is amazing, the speakers are very loud and clear. the ipod touch can only be used to listen to music with head phones the n800 can do both. sorry for the comparison I just cant help it. But I can go on forever describing this device, if you are looking for a good internet portable browser this is for you.

Interest in the handheld portable browsing experience?
Look elsewhere.
As someone who has owned every Nokia Internet Tablet since the 770, I bought into the idea that the Nokia tablets would eventually have their rough edges smoothed out. It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been using the 770, N800, N810, or the N900 for the last five years- and the rough edges are still there. In come cases, they’re worse than they were in 2005 on the 770. At least, that’s how it is with web browsing. I don’t know if the software has become more and more bloated or if the web has become more complicated- but it’s almost impossible to do any casual web browsing on my N800 flashed with the latest software. A lot of sites will cause it to totally freeze up for a few minutes, only to have it tell me that some script on the page is taking too long and ask if I want it to terminate the script.
YouTube is too slow to use and a lot of newer Flash sites- Hulu comes to mind- doesn’t work at all.
The communications software is still also very rough- the promised MS Exchange support has never materialized for my N800, making it useless for getting my work email.
The worst part is that my N800 and N810 are now even more useless than they were before. It seems that Nokia is continuing their policy of not supporting older hardware with software upgrades. Maemo 5, the software that comes with the N900, doesn’t run on the N800 or N810 and never will if Nokia has anything to do with it. Frustrating to think that I need to buy a new device every two years to keep my software up to date.
There was a lot of potential with this device, but potential that is destined to go unfulfilled considering Nokia’s lack of support for older devices.
After being burnt four times, I’ve probably bought my last Linux-based Nokia device. It’s been fun, but wholly unproductive…

I bought an N800 as an alternative to an e-reader…I figured the added functionality of the internet tablet would make up for any limitations. The only problem I have is that I can’t reformat some pdf documents the way I’d like…they’re too small for the screen but if I enlarge them, I lose the ability to “arrow” over to the next page. If anyone has a fix for this, I’d love to hear it…Other than that, I’m very happy with it.
