How to setup a phone call towards a landline or mobile phone using SIP protocol ?
How to setup a Voipbuster account on the N810 ?

or in other words:

How to make calls for free of how to make very cheap calls using the N810 ?

The information I have provided on the next page is mainly coming from this page on www.internettablettalk.com !

Screenshot has been taken after ending a 2 min Voipbuster SIP call using N810.

This procedure has been tested and verified on the latest OS2008 build !

Interested in all the required steps, all the details, some configuration screenshots, please click on the link for page 2.

In order finally to make use of the integrated built-in GPS receiver of the N810, the maps are for free available for download, I needed 3 more things:


* the Nokia HH-12 Easy Mount Holder
* the Nokia DC-4 car charger
* license code for the Wayfinder Navigator for Nokia Internet Tablet


In fact, the N810 came with some kind of car holder, the Nokia CR 89 which could be fixed to the dashbord itself, but in fact the HH-12 is required in order not to damage your dashbord. I bought it today via Ebay, the easiest and cheapast way, isn't it ?!

For the 'voice guidance' I will have to buy an extra license code from 'Wayfinder', the Wayfinder Navigator Nokia N810 Edition. The price for the license depends on the region and duration (1 month (9.98 EUR), 1 year (89.00 EUR) of 3 years (98.99)).

The product region I am interested in, includes a licence to use voice guided turn-by-turn navigation in the following map regions:
- UK & Ireland
- Germany & Alps (Germany, Austria, Switzerland)
- Scandinavia (Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway)
- Benelux (Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg)
- France
- Italy
- Spain and Portugal

After purchasing the product you will get a license key to unlock the navigation features of the map application. If you make the purchase directly from the internet tablet the key is entered automatically.

First I will try the Wayfinder Navigator for 7 days free of charge, just enough to test the built-in GPS quality (some people complain about the long time to fix) and the provided software functionality. If this test periode gives a positive result, I will buy the 36 months license !

Great news !

Today, I have ordered my Nokia Internet Tablet N810 ! And lucky me, the N810 discount code for my Maemo contribution was accepted.

Now, I have just to be patient a few more days, ...

Thanks to the Maemo team for their appreciation.

Let's hope the other 499 Maemo contributors can use their N810 discount code asap.

On 18th December 2007, Nokia has released the first official 0S2008 update for the N800 and N810 Internet Tablets.

Since a lot of people were reporting problems with the 'downloads' due to the high number of people accessing the server(s) on the same time, I decided just to wait for a while. Yesterday evening I have downloaded, installed and configured the new OS2008 on my N800 without any problems.

My first impression is very positive ! This OS2008 (2008SE_2.2007.50-2) is a big improvement in a lot of areas. I would recommend all current N800 users to 'update' their devices to this OS2008 release. There is only one reason why you shouldn't do it (yet), the fact that an application (which is very important for you) isn't ported yet.

Detailed reviews about the OS2008 and the applications (new/changed) running on top of it will be published in the coming days, weeks, months.

For people who aren't familiar with the Nokia Internet Tablets yet, but who are interested in the device, there is now an interesting How To section available on the Nokia website.

The Nokia N810 Internet Tablet User Guides are available for download now !

The exact download locations of the English and Dutch versions can be found below:

- Nokia N810 Internet Tablet User Guide in English

- Nokia N810 Internet Tablet User Guide in Dutch

Remark, currently the N810 isn't available yet in the Nokia NSeries Online shops (for example Belgium). The availability is foreseen somewhere in December, however no official date has been given yet. For those of you interested in a low priced N800, please checkout the Online Shop - Belgium.
