With my N810 most of the time I used a stylus because I can't smear the browser content just with my finger. This was finally the complete showstopper and doesn't have much to do if the cpu is slow or a 4ghz quadcore, because it's a UI failure. Using a stylus (=using both hands) only to view(!) content is so 90s on this small device.

You need the best from two different devices. Maybe _your_ Internet Tablet doesn't exist for now. But there are CES and MacWorld @jan'09...

The nokia connects to the sites quickly, it just takes a long time to load everything.

I understand a lot of websites aren't made for small machines/screens, but then again Nokia shouldn't be advertising this thing as an INTERNET tablet. I didn't buy the thing to look at mobile versions of websites, if I wanted that I would stick with my Dell Axim. I won't even get into how bad it plays embedded videos.

I've only been using it for a couple days, so maybe there's something I'm missing or need to tweak, but out-of-the-block I'm disappointed with the "internet" experience.

I have started to use the stylus more and I installed the Ad Blocker extension, which helps out immensely. I've tempered my expectations of the so-called "Internet" tablet.

I do agree with WorkingOnWise, in that the N810 is probably the best of the worst.

I should have known when they stuck a camera, bluetooth, temperature sensor and GPS in it, that the web experience would suffer. Usually devices that try to do too much, don't do anything great.

The fact that it has a hard time rendering some of the bigger sites reinforces my point. Then trying to say it's better than smartphones and PDA's at displaying websites further cheapens it because those products primary purpose isn't the Internet experience, like the Nokia.
