Nokia N810 review | Internet & Menu
Nokia N810 Internet tablet
Placing applets on your start screen
When the device is closed, it leaves only the monitor visible. Furthermore, the topside of the Nokia N810 carries a number of buttons; a button to lock the screen, a button to turn the device on and off, the volume buttons and a button to change to full screen. When the Nokia N810 is activated, a certain type of start screen becomes visible, which is comparable to the desktop on a regular pc. This start screen lets you place Applets at your own preference. These Applets are so called quick links that link, for example, directly to a Web page or a function in the menu. Some Applets are standard added to the start screen. There is one with information, whilst the 'get started' Applet and Google are also available and have their own spot on a 'search bar'.

Internet and Communication quick buttons
Alongside the start screen three more buttons are positioned. Two quick buttons for the Internet and Communication, and the menu button. The menu is divided in six groups. In 'my selection' you will find a number of quick buttons, furthermore there is Internet, communication, help programs and extras. One click will suffice, but in order to open files you have to double click. At the bottom left, a status bar shows the programs that are open at that moment. The bar lets you easily switch between the open programs. The menu is clear and straightforward, which makes working with the Nokia N810 a piece of cake. The menu structure resembles that of a computer rather than that of a mobile phone.

Handwriting recognition with learning function
Besides the full QWERTY keyboard of the Nokia N810, you can also select a different method to insert text. There is a small keyboard on the touchscreen available that can be enlarged to your own preference for operation with your finger, or made smaller for operation with the stylus pen. The device also offers handwriting recognition. Handwriting recognition is standard installed and most characters are recognized immediately. If you happen to have your own way of writing certain characters, then that's not a problem, as the Nokia N810 offers a learning function that lets you insert your own entry per character. After adjusting all to your own preference, handwriting recognition is an extremely pleasant function. The various possibilities to insert text offer sufficient variety for every person.
Working with the stylus pen
Mozilla Internet browser
Mozilla Web browser is installed for convenient surfing of the Internet. Thanks to the large screen of the Nokia N810 it is easy to surf the Internet. At times it is more convenient to work with the stylus pen than your finger, for example when scrolling through a Web page or clicking a link or entry field. It is also possible to zoom in, but this does mean a considerably smaller part of the Web page will be visible, which makes you having to scroll considerably more. You need a Wi-Fi connection besides the Web browser to be able to have access to the Internet. If you have a wireless Internet connection at your disposal at home, it offers the solution. However, nowadays we find so-called hotspots that offer wireless Internet connections in hotels or restaurants, which is convenient when travelling. When you open the Web browser, a search for available Wi-Fi networks in the area will start. If a network key has been entered in an earlier stage or if a connection has been made with an unsecured network before, this fact will be recognized and connection will be established immediately.
