Not sure if Nokia is making way for a WiMax-enabled Internet Tablet or trying to boost demand, but from a budget standpoint, it really doesn’t matter. The Nokia N810 is now listed for $389 on the Nokia N-Series site, which saves you $90 over the old price. This is the newest model, a refresh of the N800, which adds a slide-out QWERTY keyboard so you aren’t limited to the on-screen virtual entry system. It also has the latest operating system (which can be installed on the older N800) and integrated GPS. You might find better online deals, but it’s nice to see that Nokia is offering a good price for this versatile handheld too. When I want a pocketable web-centric device, I grab the software upgraded N800 from my desk and go. With AJAX and Flash 9 support, it’s great for the web-based activities I’m often doing. Bear in mind that you’ll either need to use the integrated WiFi or bring your own web connection to the N810 as it has no WWAN capabilities by itself. Of course, if you have a phone that uses DUN or Bluetooth PAN, you can use that with the N810.Update: Robert Nelson over at Gadgetell points out that this might have been a one-day deal or foul up by Nokia. The price now reflects a $439 price tag. Um… Nokia?!?
