Nokia N810 review | Internet tablet functions
Built-in media player
Music & Video
The Nokia N810 features a built-in media player for effortlessly playing music and video files. It's when watching video files that the large bright screen is used to its full advantage. It's possible to play videos on full screen. The only pity is that DivX-formats cannot be played. The built-in loud speaker delivers a good quality sound and is able to produce some loud music!
Built-in webcam
Skype & Gizmo
Since the Nokia N810 doesn't use a SIM card it's not possible to make regular phone calls. However, Voice over IP (VoIP) is enabled which means calling via the Internet. There are two programs available for making this type of calls: Gizmo and Skype. When you turn on the built-in VGA camera that serves as a webcam the person you're calling can not only hear you but also see you. The Nokia N810 is very much able to make calls through VoIP. It's easier to walk around with a device this size than your notebook.
Nokia navigation
GPS receiver
The Nokia N810 standard includes a form of Nokia Maps, comparable to a street-guide. If you actually want to use the Nokia N810 as a navigation system with the aid of these maps and the built-in GPS receiver, you have to purchase a licence for the Wayfinder application. This licence will also offer spoken navigation on the Nokia N810. There are various licences available, for example; the licence for the whole of Western Europe costs 90 Euros for one year. The screen and built-in loud speaker serve well for navigating.

Internal memory
Nokia N810 memory
The Nokia N810 offers 2GB of internal memory. About one third of the internal memory is reserved for navigation software, which leaves you sufficient memory to store your music, videos and pictures. If the internal memory does not suffice, you can enhance it with a miniSD memory card. The Nokia N810 supports memory cards up to 8GB and in the future higher storage capacities will be supported automatically or through an update.

Nokia N810 battery
Nokia include a 3.7 Volt 1500mAh battery type BP-4L with the N810 Internet Tablet. This battery offers an extensive standby time. Compared to a mobile phone, the Nokia N810 should have a longer standby time, since the battery is less burdened because of the lack of a call function. When you use the Nokia N810 every now and then to surf the Internet or to listen to music, the battery will last a couple of days. If you have to work intensively with the Nokia N810 or if you don't have the possibility to recharge the battery, you'd better purchase an extra one.
Bluetooth data transfer

The data cable does not require installing software, which ensures a direct and fast data transfer. You can therefore also use the Nokia N810 to store files from the computer in order to take them with you.
