The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet underwent a nice little makeover, lightening up its once all-black casing with a sleek silver face and shaving off a bit of thickness and weight (2.9×5.7×0.5 inches; 7.2 ounces). The device is slim enough to easily slip into your bag, but it’s probably too big to comfortably fit it into a pants pocket. Holding it in your hand, you might notice it’s a little top heavy for reasons we’ll explain a bit later, but it has a solid construction. Also, if you get tired of holding it, Nokia has built in a convenient kickstand so you can prop it up on your desk. It’s located on the bottom of the device, and all you have to do is pull it out toward the back.
The browser is a full featured browser. Not a mobile browser that formats stuff for a small screen. This means that in its default state, some of the text you read is a bit small. However you can zoom in easily with buttons right on the top of the device. This tends to give you horizontal scroll bars though. To handle this you can choose “Fit width to view”. This helps, but sometimes mangles the layout of pages. I don’t mean to make a big deal about this though. For most actual use, most pages are fine, and a quick zoom in is adequate to be able to read small type. Pages render surprisingly quick, and Flash seems to work pretty well. Of course, you gotta realize its limits. I wouldn’t try to run a really cpu intensive Flash app on this thing, and I ran into a couple of pages that had a lot of Flash on them, which really slowed things down. But it plays most Youtube videos just fine, for instance.
The battery life is pretty good too: it reportedly manages 10 days in always-ON standby (the device is actually ON, and with only a few hardware elements OFF), and it managed here about 5 hours of WiFi usage (screen in low backlight mode). It is my estimation (I only had the device for just a day and a half so far) that having the Gizmo or GTalk clients ON and leaving WiFi ON while in standby mode, you should get about 4-5 days of battery life which is better than the second best such device, the Nokia E61.
