WiMAX N810 Dies On The Vine

The WiMAX version of the N810 was never anything more than a curiosity this side of the pond given the limited availability of WiMAX even as a trial. Now it looks like Nokia have had enough of the tribulations of being a WiMAX front-runner and pulled the N810W from the shelves – indeed one report [...]

Fourth Generation Must-haves – Part Two

Having looked at what I consider the third generation internet tablet’s biggest hardware shortcomings its tine to look at where the software is lacking.
This actually amounts to less of an issue, as the very nature of software is that it can be fine-tuned, allowed to evolve or be replaced completely if necessary. That said some [...]

Fourth Generation Tablet Must-haves – Part One

The N810 is the most accomplished pocket internet device to date. Yes I am including the iPhone in that assessment too. Having owned both for more than six months I can definitely say that the N810 has much more to recommend it than the iPhone – for internet use anyway.
However the N810 is far [...]

Back From The Dead

Of course I mean the blog, not me!
Its been a while since I posted anything here – concentrating on developing my more mainstream blog at randomdumber too much I guess. That and distractions like the new iPhone.
However I’m going to try and post more regularly about the use of Maemo Internet Tablets in a corporate [...]

Reverting Back To OS2007

Don’t get me wrong, OS2008 is good, very good in fact. But its plagued with problems that are likely to take Nokia at least a couple more updates to fix. Whilst my N800 is attempting to be my main computer I can’t really rely on a flaky OS. All the same OS2008 is a visual [...]

OS2008 Officially Available For N800

Nokia have made good on their promise to deliver the N800 upgrade to OS2008 before Christmas, with the files being made available through the Nokia Internet Tablet Update Wizard earlier today. Unfortunately it looks like every N800 owner is currently in the process of updating their operating system, so the server is massively overloaded. If [...]

Wallpapers For N800, N810

I’ve selected a few 800×480 wallpapers which I use on my N800’s home screen as backgrounds. The images are, as far as I know anyway, in the public domain, however they will be removed if I’m informed otherwise.
First four are attached.

N800 Official Nokia Case

After a mighty delay and many false starts Nokia’s official case for the N800 became available about six weeks ago (in the UK at least) and being completely unimpressed with the OEM sleeve case I had to order one. I’ve had it for the best part of a month now so time to jot down [...]

N800 Certificate Based PEAP Authentication

The N800 lives or dies be connectivity, specifically Wifi connectivity lacking an integrated cellphone as it does. So connecting to my work network was going to be key to its utility for me. Which promised to be some fun and games, given that my work network is based around WPA, with a certificate and Active [...]

N810 Delayed

Unsurprisingly Expansys have failed to meet their four day target for the availability of the N810. l’m sure that this is as much to do with Nokia as Expansys themselves. Availability is now listed as December 10th whilst the price has jumped to £375 – which makes the £180 N800 look even more of [...]
