A Nokia N800 for two weeks…

Nokia N800 Internet Tablet Last week, I received an email from WOM World, offering to send me a Nokia N800 Internet Tablet as a review unit. The N800 is not a phone; it’s an ultra-mobile device that runs a custom flavor of Linux based on Debian.

DHL delivered the package yesterday, so I now have two weeks to put it through its paces. I’ll note down my observations and experiences with it during that time, and will hopefully have a review ready by the end of it.

For now, all I can say is, I’m pretty impressed by the design - it’s slim and lightweight, and at the same time, it feels solid and well-built. It’ll be interesting to see how functional it is, and how it can fit into the lifestyles of those who already have laptops/tablets and smartphones.

If you’d like me to try out some feature in particular, have any questions, or can recommend any fun and useful third-party apps, please drop me a comment.
