Inside, Operating System
The heart of the device is a 400 MHz TI OMAP 2420 CPU. Sounds a bit funny, but the other N-series smartphones from this manufacturer has the same in themselves (N93, N95, N82, E90), but I have to admit that they are only clocking at 330 MHz. I can hear you asking that if this chipset is enough to run the Linux-based Nokia Internet Tablet OS2008 without any crashes. Luckily the answer is positive.
The Nokia 770 had serious problems with the amount of its memory, because opening 2 or 3 web pages left no empty space in the cache, and the machine could only send an error signal to the shocked user. Fortunately the N810 doesn’t have this problem because the manufacturer hasn’t spared out the memory. There is 128 MB RAM for temporary usage, and a 256 MB + 2 GB flash ROM to store our data which – as I’ve mentioned before – can be expanded by a miniSD card.
The Linux-based platform is easy to upgrade with the integrated Application Manager. But if these dozens of programs – which also enjoy the supplement of Nokia – wouldn’t be enough, we can find others on the internet, we can practically download anything, which is available for other platforms (Symbian and Microsoft Windows), and moreover this list of downloadable files can be upgraded with the files of external servers which only requires the installing of one file – it’s like the iPhone’s Installer. The selection is obviously smaller than in the case of other systems, but here every program is practically free, which itself can be a rather convincing fact when buying the phone.
No problem with handling. The Home screen is given, on which we can put out a lot of icons which is not only our choice, but it depends on the software, too. We can put out the Google search bar and the net radio etc., for example. There are three icons on the left side, pointing at the first we can reach things connected to browsing (new, blank page, favorites), the communications are in the second (new e-mail/chat/web telephoning, others like these), and the third is the menu itself. If a program is running, then its icon goes onto the bottom of the list, so the user can easily choose between the currently running applications (yeah, multi-task). The menus of each program can be reached by the icon next to the globe in the upper left corner, and we can set the brightness and volume during the running of any program, and moreover the state of the battery is always visible – expect when a full screen software is being run. The user can alter the visualization with different themes.
The device is pretty bad at document-handling, no Office support, only a PDF-reader, missing the search function, though. There are four games: Checks, Blocks, Mahjong, Marbles. Backup option is integrated, and the QWERTY keyboard is not the only way for input (but it is advised to use). There is a virtual keyboard in the machine and a handwriting-recognition algorhytm. Not too many other programs, notepad, drawing thingie, terminal, world clock, calculator.
