Let me say this now, if you don’t have Ars Technica in your bookmark folder then reach for your mouse right now. These guys are the epitome of in-depth, detailed, and highly technical reviews. I’m a processor architecture junkie at heart; Any anytime Intel or AMD introduce their next gen product I immediately go to these guys to get the low down. In the end sure I care about who is faster, but I want to know why?
They usually publish their reviews later than everyone else, but it is easy to see where that extra time went.
Check out their amusing conclusion:
My experience with the 770 in 2005 was mixed. It was like getting to know a popular but empty-headed cheerleader in high school—very nice to look at, but not a lot going on upstairs. Stretching that analogy a bit, using the N800 is like finding out that the cheerleading captain is also a straight-A student.
The best compliment that I can pay the Nokia N800 is that it feels like using a really small computer rather than a smartphone or PDA. I’ve spent some time using the various UMPCs available, including the Samsung Q1, and I’d rather use the N800 hands-down.
