Nokia has set a standard with the Internet Tablet and with each rendition it gets better. arstechnica has got a NEW N810 and over all, they are impressed.  Smaller, comfortable and easy to carry makes this device worth looking at.  This unboxing has a lot of pictures and some initial thoughts for you to use in deciding if you want this device.

What are some of their thoughts?

The built-in GPS hardware is a nice addition, but the free mapping software is disappointingly limited, and users who want voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation will have to pay more for the full version of WayFinder’s software, which is expected to be available by December.

The N810’s built-in keyboard also falls short of my expectations. The keys are very mushy, and it’s easy to hit multiple keys at once by accident. I was extremely frustrated with it at first, but after a day of typing I’ve gotten used to it and my accuracy has improved considerably. My current verdict on the keyboard is that it could be better, but it isn’t bad once you’re familiar with it.
