The N800 is a step above the older model, the N770. It features a faster 320 Mhz TI CPU, two SD slots, 128 MB RAM, 256 MB flash storage, 4.1″ 800×480 touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headphones jack and mini-USB port. On the top of the device you will find the zoom buttons, the fullscreen on/off button and the microphone while on the front of the device there is a 5-way joypad and 3 additional buttons: close application/window, application’s menu and task-switch. On the left side there is a retractable VGA video-call camera. Below the device you will find a very practical kickstand, which is very nice if you are using your N800 to watch movies.
Other featres include a SD placeholder card (miniSD 128 MB included), a USB cable, a second stylus, a power adapter, a protective pouch, 3.5mm earphones with a VoIP call/reject button and some manuals. Upgrade has seen the RAM (128 MBs from 64 MBs).
The striking feature however is its WiFi reception. The next two great things in the N800 are the very nice, loud sound and the kickstand. The kickstand has two “levels of sitting”, allowing the N800 to “sit back” and make it easy for the user to watch a movie.The battery life is pretty good it reportedly manages 10 days in always-ON standby, and it manages about 5 hours of WiFi usage (screen in low backlight mode).
The software has seen an upgrade too, including Opera that now has Macromedia Flash support. Unfortunately, both YouTube’s and Google’s Flash videos are unwatchable because of the lower CPU power, update: speed is better in latest firmware one can use a Windows server running Orb to stream Flash video in the .ram format which it plays back fine, but this is not easy to do and can not be expected from normal users to do so. Opera crashed twice while using Hotmail, but other than that it worked admirably. It allows for (legit) popups/windows to open and it has full javascript support among other well-known Opera features.
