Nokia's N800 dissected: look at all the pretty innards!

We've seen plenty of nekkid gadgets in our day, most of which reveal nothing more than the particular warranty-scoffing recklessness of the user that busts open his or her unit for the joy of sharing with others. Nokia's 770 was a notable exception, with hackers discovering an undocumented microphone that turned out to be quite the boon to VoIP junkies. There are no such surprises in this N800 dissection by ThoughtFix, but we're still pretty impressed by how sexy Nokia bothered with making this thing look on the inside. Check out the disassembly on video after the break, or hit up the read link for some snazzy pics.

hmf, pansy. he should have desoldered the shields. what good is a gutting if you can't see the chips?

[ThoughtFix @ Jan 29th 2007 12:12PM]

I would have, but that blog needs the N800 to function. I have a PayPal donate button on the blog if you want to send me the $400 to de-solder!

Agree with Chris ...

Oh good the humanity! The Horror! Why would you do this to such an innocent beautiful machine?!

p.s. why dude was on a timer/ race of some sort?

I sped up the video intentionally. It'd have been 11 minutes otherwise: quite boring to the viewer.

Those shields are attached to the ground plane, it would be pretty hard to mess up if you are desoldering that.

I guess he didn't dig deep enough to find the radio chip in there!
