Nokia N800 Internet Tablet review roundup

We keep calling it an Internet Tablet like Nokia tells us to, hoping that makes it true. You know what we mean: pop-out keyboard, 3G data, other fancy stuff. All the same, there's definitely a lot to love about Nokia's N800 followup to the 770, including that peppier 330MHz Texas Instruments processor and built-in webcam. Looks like the general consensus is that the N800 is a well executed device, with a beautiful screen, but just falls short of mass appeal. Notable notable omissions include PIM functionality and PC syncing, and video playback is a bit choppy. Otherwise, the N800 should appeal to heavy internet users and VoIP junkies with $400 burning a hole in their pockets, but don't expect to replace your laptop, PDA or cellphone just yet.

Well, as a stand alone replacement for my blackberry or palm...no way.

However with my home page set to my iGoogle portal and my Razr bluetoothed I have the best of both worlds so far. Neither the blackberry or palm have as good a web browser. I can do my gmail quite well on the N800 and my iGoogle calendar sends notices to my Razr.

So until there is a device that does both as well, I don't mind carrying two, if for no other reason than the browser is so much better.

now I haven't played with an iPhone yet so....

I just got the Tablet a few days ago. For some reason I thought that I could get the internet through my cel phone. I have a Blackberry Pearl with Cingular and thought when I did the bluetooth connection I could get the net off my Blackberry data plan. But Cingular says no. So that said, I know I am stupid but I have to buy a seperate plan and pay more money? Can you all tell me what service you all use?

Thanks,

Scott
