Nokia N810 Review
Nokia has made significant improvements on its predecessor with the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet while retaining much of what made the N800 such an easy-to-use mobile multimedia/communications device. The N810 augments the onscreen keyboard with a backlit, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and it also adds a front-facing webcam, 2 GB of internal storage (expandable via memory cards up to 8 GB), and integrated GPS.

http://reviews.cnet.com/The good: The Nokia N810 Internet Tablet features a sleeker design with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The mobile Internet device now has integrated GPS and Rhapsody and Skype support. It also offers an excellent Web browsing experience and decent multimedia performance. The bad: The Nokia N810 can be sluggish in performance, and the navigation controls and keyboard are a bit cramped. There are no included PIM tools, and you have to pay extra to get driving directions for use with GPS.
http://www.trustedreviews.comThe keyboard is nicely hidden away when not needed, sliding out from the side of the device when required. The keys themselves are a bit bigger than those you'll find on many handhelds with sliding keyboards, simply because the N810 is a bit larger than your average handheld at 128mm wide, 72mm tall and 14mm thick. It's pretty heavy too at 226g. Put it into the provided sleeve and you're going to be well aware you are carrying it around.
