Oh my gosh!


This new Nokia n800 is an amazing device. It is so much better than my old 770. I now have the urge to leave my laptop at home and surf only from my Nokia tablet. I had talked about the many issues with the 770 I had in the past so there is no need to go over them. But a big one happened today. I installed Ereader. This has always been the mobile killer app for me. Now I have an internet tablet that I can use offline. I will also install bejeweled. This device blows me away. I do feel like I am surfing the web in the palm of my hand now. The first thing I did was try out YouTube and the quality is amazing. I tried the 2007OS and thought it was great. But 2008 is amazing. I love being able to use two sd card slots. I do have a few little issues. I do wish I got the n810's slide out keyboard. I also wish I could remap the "j" button to the down arrow for use in google reader. Is there any way to have the down button page down instead of running through the links?

any chance on you doing a post of apps you're going to install & find useful on the n800?

Sure I will get to work on that. I don't require much just my ebooks.

have you considered the sony prs-505? i picked up one along with an 810 & the prs is alot easier to read on as it looks like actual paper

still working on loading my n810 and trying to get it to backup so i can install the new firmware, also the new os can be installed on the n800 if it didnt come with it already

I do love those Sony Readers. I also am interested in the Amazon Kindle. But eReader is my drug of choice. I have never had issues reading on a handheld device. I can't read too long on an old crt monitor. On LCD monitors I can read easily.

My main problem is my girlfriend has too many books. I think I have about 4 bookshelves of different sizes. I want her to give the sony reader or amazon kindle a try.
