There’s always room for one more N800 review. The N800 is a device we like, especially as the price of Microsoft UMPCs seems to be heading north since CES and Nokia seem to be one of the few manufacturers who are working from the bottom up rather than Vista down.
Spicy Gadget Roll has a lengthy review up with some good images and videos and comes to similar conclusions as others. The main negative points are that flash performance needs to improve (its highly possible that it will in future releases of the operating system) and that video support is lacking. (Canola to the rescue?)
New observations for us are that the speakers are great: “Nokia put a lot of love into these speakers, they are ridiculously good.” and that you can leave the device in an active standby mode (WiFi on) and get huge battery life: “When left connected to a WiFi access point with display off, I got roughly 10.5 hours“
It would be a 10/10 review but we have to take one point off for technical accuracy. Thoughtfix proved that you can plug 2x4GB SD cards in the N800 for 8GB storage joviality.
Thanks to Spicy Gadget Roll.
