(More customer reviews)I bought this device with high - but realistic - expectations, and I wasn't disappointed! During the 5 months I researched it before buying, I read every article and blog, and watched every video I could find about it, so I had an idea of its capabilities as well as its perceived shortcomings. However, the shortcomings, I believe, came from unrealistic expectations. For example, there is a lot of complaint about the position of the camera on the front of the device rather than on the back, facing away from the user. I wasn't disappointed in that, since the device is used primarily for video conferencing using Skype (and others). Yes it takes photos, but that's not the primary purpose for the camera, so I didn't have expectations to use it as one.
There is a learning curve for me, as I've never used Linux before. But it is usable right out of the box even to a windows user like me, very easy to find my way around the device, and even included a getting started video right on the opening screen!
Although I purchased this on March 2nd, my first device was defective. Nokia's tech support was TOP NOTCH, both on the phone, and via email. They worked with me to get the device returned, and sent a replacement within a few days. This is the first Nokia purchase I've ever made but I am so impressed with their customer service that it definitely will not be the last.
Battery life is long, and this has replaced my PalmPilot (games, phone numbers, notes) and Zune (mp3's, photos), plus my bedside alarm clock and radio. I carry it with me everywhere, and listen to both mp3's and my favorite interent radio station, depending on the availability of a wifi signal, and can show all of my photos to anyone at any time, more easily than in a photo album. In addition I'm able to keep up with my email and Facebook (use [...] for a mobile version of the site) when I stop somewhere for lunch, and can look up anything on the web on the fly.
The N810 will also connect to the internet via my cell phone using bluetooth, but I haven't had the occasion to use that feature as most places I go in our small town have wifi and that is primarily why I purchased the device.
I am thrilled with my N810 and it has quickly become a large part of my daily life, from the time I turn off its alarm clock in the morning, until the time I fall asleep listening to internet radio at night!
