Doesn't it usually start around 7 instead of 6?

[CSIFan29]

This is the first time I woke up early for a sale (except boxing day) where the hell is it:?:

[earthman]

I remember that the deal didn't go up around 7:30 on the previous Day 1 of Days of Deals.

[Eeric]

its a scam! they probably vary the time they put it up to wear out ppl's F5 key => have to buy new keyboards

[demanche]

lol ;)

I swear the last few times has been close to 6:30, and the price errors always get fixed within a hour...

[Eeric]

$699 42" lcd hdtv was the top deal last time around.


Except for those who had problems after 30 days and Dell told them they had to mail a 42" TV across the country at their expense.

[nopn]

[madman604]

i thought its a mistake but yup, nuttin but crap. gnight all.

[Faeton]

I think the monitor is mispriced... doesn't say how much off it is.

[kaiblu]

The N800 is a decent price, under US prices by about $30 +shipping.

Too bad it doesn't work as a regular phone...

[cy]

The router and the tablet is decent, actually.

[Vegeta88]

Cold deal on the Antec Notebook Cooler
they have it for $25.94 at Amazon.com (yes, the US site, but it's good for a price comparison)

[mrG]

I think the monitor is mispriced... doesn't say how much off it is.


Yeah that's regular price. It's been down to $450 a few times, I'm sure they'll fix it in a minute.

[blackhawk]

Dell 24 inch E248WFP monitor $519
Nokia N800 tablet $199.99
Belkin N1 router $64.99

reading reviews from customers and one review from a month ago in USA says decent monitor for 475 delivered to the door, dell doesn't seem to know how to market anymore

[hero]

Total disappointment.

[nopn]

any comment on the router ? (is time to switch to N)

[nopn]

Total disappointment.

not yet, the 24" still has not update the real price.

[Thimble]

The notebook cooler at 19.99 seems like a good price:

http://www.shopbot.ca/p-9069.html

[Canadianpsycho]

Too bad the N router is Belkin crap.

[xsivspd]

Monitor is up at $399!

[Tha_Doggg]

Nothing for me...oh well

[Azndrag0n]

wow didn't expect such a low price for that 24" monitor

[jonnnny]

Ugh, great price on the n800, as said before, cheaper than it has ever been in Canada and the States. I ordered it a week ago for $250 :(

[mrG]

$400 a good price for this monitor. However, a warning: This is not the Ultrasharp. The Ultrasharp's panel is fantastic. This one's panel isn't so good. But if you want the real estate and don't care about the quality of your image, then it's a good price.

[earthman]

wow didn't expect such a low price for that 24" monitor

TN panel... Blah! No thanks.

[Canadianpsycho]

Does anyone know if that Dell has a component and/or composite inputs? Desciption just mentions DVI.

[cisland]

Ugh, great price on the n800, as said before, cheaper than it has ever been in Canada and the States. I ordered it a week ago for $250 :(

uhh.. I wish I had never read this thread.. Now I can't decide if I want to jump in or go for N810 or Eee PC now.. :confused:

[belowzeros]

that belkin N1 router is HORRIBLE do not buy

[mrG]

Does anyone know if that Dell has a component and/or composite inputs? Desciption just mentions DVI.

I don't think so, this is the less of the 24" monitors. You probably want the Ultrasharp (which has a much better picture and a ton of inputs).

[gsrce]

That tablet is a really good deal. It costs over $400. from Nokia Canada, and is a little smaller than a ds lite in terms of thickness.

[Eeric]

TN panel... Blah! No thanks.

How have you found the tablet? What do you use it for? I've been wanting to get one since my laptop died (mainly just surfing around the house) but can you do other stuff?

Can you plug a keyboard into it and remote admin into a desktop? That'd be sweet as I have a decent desktop, and have decent upstream

[jonnnny]

uhh.. I wish I had never read this thread.. Now I can't decide if I want to jump in or go for N810 or Eee PC now.. :confused:
n810 is not worth it. both are exactly the same in every way except:

n800 has more storage capacity (2 expandable slots instead of just 1)
n810 has smaller footprint
n810 has a built in keyboard that has gotten really bad reviews... bluetooth keyboard all the way!
n810 has built in gps which doesn't use the Sirfstar III chipset so it's kind of weak... any serious gps work should be using an external gps anyway.

n800 is 199 compared to n810 at 400+

oh man, i can pick up one of those external gps for $30 and use this as a GPS system!?

[balou911]

just an idea.
how about putting the antec usb powered laptop cooler under the 360 for extra cooling?

[TenzoR]

Pretty tempted with the Nokia N800 but i have no idea what I can do with it

[ItemFinder]

The tablet is the only thing tempting in the whole bunch, BUT I suggest you save your money for a better deal another day. Out of 11 more chances, there is bound to be something deal worthy.

Anyone get the Nokia 800? I wonder how it stacks up against the iPod Touch?

Opinions?

[curryman90]

ah, i'm hoping the other 11 days have something more worthwhile. zzZZZzz

[jonnnny]

Pretty tempted with the Nokia N800 but i have no idea what I can do with it
The n800 runs a flavor of Linux (maemo linux), you can install any debian package if I remember correctly so you can do much more than just surf the internet.

I haven't received mine yet but I plan to install a small LAMP installaion with Vim and do some web development on the go. Not sure how well that will turn out.

Compared to ipod touch, it's good because the platform is open source and the resolution is much higher. The browser (Opera) supports flash 9 unlike safari on the ipod touch.
You'll be set back another $100 or so if you want to add 16GB storage to the n800 though. (at around $50 per 8gb which is about the cheapest you can get nowadays)

[d_Ave]

N800 is tempting, but I think I will hold out on a deal for the Asus Eee Laptop. Even if it doesn't go on sale, I think it's a better deal.

[wildchild22]

I bought this 24 inch monitor for daytime viewing instead of my projector. I find it is great will take 1080p 24fps for3 bluray and 1080p/i from both vga and hdmi. It supports sync on green and a steal at this price. I called in and threated to return it but the customer return specialist adjusted the price for me.
Regarding the cheap tn panal there is a little light leakage but image quality is great highly recommend it.
Kudos to dell

[Canadianpsycho]

I don't see the EEE going on "sale" anytime soon - how can it get any cheaper?

The more reviews I read on the N800 the more tempted I am to pick it up.

[Canadianpsycho]

I am so weak. I bought the N800. So much for saving myself until Boxing Day. There's nothing I'm really looking for anyways.

[Taft]

The price on the 24" LCD is hot, but it looks like they didn't show the sale price when the deals first showed up. Is this something the people who stayed up all night would have missed out on? :twisted: Ouch!

A lot of pissing and moaning about these deals as usual, but I think this is a decent start to the Days of Dell (except for that friggin' ridiculous USB/firewire abomination). Come on XBox 360 deal!!

[GodBlessU]

TN panels are okay for average daily uses (e.g. watching movies, word processing, browsing internet and etc..). But there are differences between TN and SPVA (used in 2407 and other UltraSharp lines) panels when it comes to image quality. If you want something for image editing and other tasks that need accurate"er" color representation, then stay away from TN panels. I have a 2407WFP myself and have also seen TN in action, I would rather spend more to get higher quality panels.

[Jin-n-Juice]

ROFL! :lol:

[Canadianpsycho]

Nice justification for caving in. I have until midnight but I don't think I can hold off either.

I just couldn't pass up on a tablet PC/media player/GPS (EDIT: GPS-capable) for 200 bucks. I was looking at the EEE but its twice the cost and I just don't think I'll use it enough to justify twice the cost. And after reading that the N810 has made a lot of changes for the worse the N800 should still hold decent value if I decide I don't use it enough.

I was saving money for Rock Band. Guess I'm not now (probably won't be able to find it for a month or two anyways since I didn't preorder).

so temped to get the Nokia n800, i have a feeling this will OOS.

[Hello-]

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Monitors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-6095

Same price in the US. They get 3yrs advance exchange and pay less tax than us (at least those of us in Ontario).

[Col127]

it's a great tablet. the intuos3 is a lot better than the graphire - more sensitivity and the pen feels a lot better. the price is really good on it - normally sells for around $250-300.

4x6 is the smallest size of the bunch, it goes up to 6x8 and i think 9x12 as well. depends what size she wants.

You guys concidering the n800, check out the new features in the n810 :|

That changed my mind from getting one even at that price

[Ctrl-Z]

Just ordered the Nokia N800. The only really tempting thing about the N810 is that it has a slightly better screen for outdoor viewing. But for potential GPS use, I think using an external bluetooth GPS receiver on the N800 has major advantages.

You may not be aware of it but the Nokia Internet Tablets can now run (many) Palm OS applications. This is a huge advance in usefulness since mainstream applications were lacking in the Nokias. http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=250091

N800 all the way for me. More Storage > Mini keyboard. Also, $200 is a heck of a lot better then $400. At $400 I'd just buy an EEE.

[Arcum]

I have the 2407 WFP HC but the ghosting is really annoying, I might get this 24" to play games with.

Give up on the holding for boxing day sale and order N800 before I head to work.. Worst come to worst, I only waste $275. still cheaper than N810 or Eee PC. :cheesygri

How does the tablet compare to something like a PDA (Dell axim) for surfing the net? Are people buying them, who don't own a PDA, [or is there something about a tablet that I'm missing out on and don't know?] Thanks!

any comments on the laptop cooler? Checking out local comp sites and they seem toi sell it cheaper ($1-3 less).

For anyone with experience, do these help dissipate the heat? is this the only advantage?

How does the tablet compare to something like a PDA (Dell axim) for surfing the net? Are people buying them, who don't own a PDA, [or is there something about a tablet that I'm missing out on and don't know?] Thanks!


Much better resolution screen (800x400) to view entire web pages, with new firmware update, should be faster too... i just ordered one, the n810 is nice but not worth the price until it comes down further when the next gen one comes out next year....

N800 with Linux: turn on, click Browse button, start browsing regular web (like RedFlagDeals). Want an extra software app? Open Application Manager, click Browse Applications, pick one from the online list (user-editable application server list), click Install, downloads and installs.

PDA: buy accessories (more $), open browser (wait, wait, wait ...), squint at tiny screen, curse lack of Flash support. Search many web sites for extra apps you need: all "trial" versions, $50 to purchase. :mad:

I see it's already out of stock at Dell, but they're still taking orders: 5-7 days to ship.

[spm24]

wow great price @ the n800 i wish they had this deal before when i was buying my n770 .

the n800 just got a new software update that is compatible with the n810 if i understand correctly.

i currently use my n770 to remote to my computer/ stream Youtube videos as well as some skype/ventrilo. the n800 has way more functions as well as able to watch youtube/flv's with no troubles after firmware update.

also with the deals they have for Sd cards its a quick on the go mobile device that can have up to 16 gigs of storage , link it with a bluetooth keyboard and is a great laptop replacement for college/uni or just browsing @ home.

[mojof1]

I've used the antec cooler it really makes a difference according to my NHC temp gauge

my w7j generally produces a lot of hot air even without load
but once i started using it, the air coming from the vent is actually only mildy warm as opposed to being HOT that it normally is

any reviews on that LaCie USB hub? i've actually been looking up on that... looks kinda stylish... more so than regulary square ones

[Canadianpsycho]

Ugh, I ordered the N800 at 9:10 and estimated shipping is the 12th. Lame. Too much time to rethink my purchase, Dell! ;)

[d_Ave]

You guys are awesome, "N800's for everyone".

This kind of stuff hurts my budget :D

[Asphalt]

Got the Wacom Intuos 3 tablet and was considering the Canon A570IS, but after a little research ended up spending twice as much to get the Canon 850IS at Staples :cry:
I can't believe I spent over $500 today and there are still 11 Days of Deals left!

[mhleung]

I ordered a couple of LaCie hubs...they should make great Christmas presents for my techie relatives!

[Infamous1]

I bought the N800....total impulse buy! You guys give too many good reviews that it sucks me in and i have to buy it! Bastards.

I swear I am going to have it sitting beside me whenever i watch TV to justify the purchase. I can picture looking up sports stats while i'm watching sports on TV....or maybe if i see a hottie on TV i can quickly google her images.... for research purposes.... ;)

GPS nav system (with a Bluetooth GPS receiver)
...

Any recommended receiver/software that can run on Linux?

[s2k]

Does the n800 have an email client or is it all basically via webmail interface to your server?
Also how is the browser in terms of support for most pages? Does it work with most online banking sites and similar or does it have some issues? What about with Web 2.0 sites using Ajax/javascript, etc?

Also how is it for playing video and audio from the SD cards? is it decent quality?

It does have a built in e-mail client and you can also install a 3rd party one if you wish. The built in browser is kind of weak but you can install Opera which has full support for most everything including flash, javascript (ajax), https etc. It's Opera so it can do most things desktop Opera can do.

Video (divx etc.) and audio plays just fine, you just need to install the proper program and codecs.

The n800 comes with Internet Tablet OS 2007 which runs the processor underclocked at 330mhz and plays Youtube a little choppy. You can update the firmware to OS 2008 which will "unlock" the processor to 400mhz and everything will work great :)

The n810 is listed as a faster processor because it comes with OS2008 preinstalled -- it's actually the exact same CPU in both n800 and n810.

Keep in mind though, a lot of software written for OS 2007 hasn't been ported to OS 2008 yet.

[jeeva86]

I don't get it. Why so much hype about the N800. Isn't it pretty old? It's just a Wi-Fi device. Why not just get a smartphone with wi-fi built in. This thing doesn't have a GPS receiver either.

[Aske001]

Yes, I'm also curious to what GPS map software is available for this unit (N800), do you have to do special modifications to the unit to get map software on it?

It's a program called Maemo Mapper - it's currently the most popular app download, and it has been updated for OS2008. Just the usual one-click download and install process.

You can specify your map source from a list of alternatives (with the amusing caution that you should verify that you have the legal right to use these sources - nod nod, wink wink). I'm using Google Maps and Google Earth sat images. Seeing the Google sat images on this beautiful big high-res screen is awesome. It auto-fetches from the internet when you are logged on, and auto-caches to your local storage.

Surprising the heck out of me, it can do street routing using some sort of built-in online service, and it seems quite good. I haven't explored the details of where this service is coming from yet, but it does as good a job as my Mio C310 on a few addresses I tried.

It should work with any Bluetooth GPS - there are lots available, but watch for a bargain price.

[Aske001]

Thanks. Is it easy/free to update to OS 2008?

Yes, but:
- OS2008 for the N800 won't be officially released for about 2 weeks, so the advice is to wait for it to ensure best stability
- The version you can currently download is the N800 release candidate based on the N810 version which has already shipped. Users seem pleased with it - few problems aside from some apps that need an update from OS2007
- Installing OS2008 will wipe your apps list, so you'll have to re-install all your add-ons, another reason why you might want to wait a few weeks for the official release

How's the battery on the N800? Any cheap bluetooth keyboards I can get for it. Need something for my 11 year old to type on at school.

It's a standard lithium ion battery, easily replaceable (hear that Apple? see the godawful battery access procedure for the iPod Touch posted on CNET today). Lasts about 4 hours on a charge if actively using the screen at high brightness and the WiFi connection.

Apparently it works with most Bluetooth keyboards - I haven't got one to try.

[technut]

N800 also has Wayfinder Navigator mapping software included in the OS2008 install (and free download for maps). No voice prompts, that's extra cost.

I'd suggest installing OS2008beta before you spend any time loading apps into OS2007. The final release will be available within a couple of weeks and it will be an easier migration from 2008beta than from 2007, since most of the 2007 apps can't be used in 2008. And if you start with 2008beta, it will re-install your apps for you when you upgrade the firmware (eg. to the final release).

The n800 takes regular and mini Sd bard both correct?

It comes with a mini SD adapter and a 128 Mbyte "starter" mini-SD card. There are 2 SD slots, one internal and one external.

[Aske001]

What GPS receiver are you using?

I borrowed one briefly to test from a friend with a PDA, don't even know what brand it is.

Here's one with a SiRFStar III chipset for about $70, for example: http://www.gpscentral.ca/products/usglobalsat/bt359w.htm
or this one for about $50: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9415
But I've seen them for under $50, so I would hunt around a bit more for a bargain.

[addicted2deals]

Looks like the next version of the N800 will include GPS support (Wi-Max too)

Since I don't really need this, I dunno if it's better to wait for the new one or just buy this one >:(

[Ryvius]

I am planning to get the n800, but I got some questions:

1) Is there any application for typing notes and opening powerpoints? I want something small to take note during lectures.
2) Does it work with places where you need to download something to check for virus and stuff before you can connect like the wifi system at UoT?
3) When will Dell charge my credit card? When I order or when they ship?

The day is not over yet... If you make it to tomorrow, then you can say you resisted! :)

[Aske001]

1) Is there any application for typing notes and opening powerpoints? I want something small to take note during lectures.

Typing notes, sure: there's various notepad and WP apps for the N800. But opening Powerpoints is trickier - even the PP Windows Mobile version can't handle most desktop ppts. If you want to carry it around to look at for reference, you'd be better off to PDF it and open it with the PDF viewer.

There's a radio ad running right now for Telus that suggests that you could edit your Powerpoint presentation on your Windows Mobile phone right after you come out of an offsite meeting. Hah! I'd love to see the marketing moron that wrote that ad actually try it. :cheesygri

2) Does it work with places where you need to download something to check for virus and stuff before you can connect like the wifi system at UoT?

Don't know about UoT's stuff, but it can handle most web apps that run in Opera or Mozilla (Firefox).

3) When will Dell charge my credit card? When I order or when they ship?

In the past they've charged me when they ship.

[technut]

2) Does it work with places where you need to download something to check for virus and stuff before you can connect like the wifi system at UoT?I'd say that's doubtful. It depends what you mean "download something". If it is some kind of trust-agent software you have to install on your workstation, then it is unlikely there is a version that would run on the N800 since (even though it is Linux) it is not an x86 processor, it is an ARM processor.

You should get more details about what UoT does (maybe ask them what they do with non-PC machines like PDAs and Wi-Fi Blackberry) and ask your question at that itT forum I posted the link to.

i am sure you will regret.

This is best toy to bring internet every where. Streaming video from my media vault would even make it perferct device to go anywhere. I was thinking getting the Eee, but the keyboard is kind overdone on this tiny machine. It makes it more heavy. For the extra 200, i would stick with the Nokia.

The Antec cooler is supposed to be good for preventing the Xbox 360 from overheating (http://xbox360.qj.net/Keep-Your-Xbox-360-Cool-as-a-Cucumber/pg/49/aid/12932)

Though I have one of the ones with the newer heat sink, I figured, for $19, might be worth the extra assurance.

[YLSF]

Ordered an n800...

I have an Dell Axim and it is great for traveling with. I have a bluetooth keyboard for it and I really like being able to write e-mails, etc on it but the screen size is a big issue...

Looking forward to playing with this new toy!

[Aske001]

dumb question... you can't get internet if theres no unsecured wireless network or secured but you don't know the password right? not like a cell phone

If no available WiFi (your own home or office, an unsecured/public network, or a hot spot roaming account), then you need a cell phone that has data service and supports Bluetooth linking to your N800. But expect to pay a lot for cellular data in Canada.

[duckdown]

Bought the N800

I just hope I can install some kind of IRC client on it!

I wonder if I can crack WEP with this thing ;)

[Aske001]

Which application are people using to convert movies or TV series and watching on it?

You could just install codecs, but you will still run into limitations with resolution too high, unsupported compression options, unsupported audio tracks etc etc. Best to use the purpose-built MediaConverter program, which is very fast and guaranteed to output the best compatible format for your device. Free download.

[bill_best]

Oh man.. I've got problems.

I bought an N800 on Black Friday for $245.

I loved it so much I just bought 3 more from Dell for Christmas presents.

Hope they like it. :|

[Infamous1]

What do you use it for the most? What makes you love it?

[Metablob]

iPhone>Tablet :razz:
The iphone isn't available here in Canada and the data rates here make it a non starter. The closer comparison is the itouch and the n800, except the itouch is almost twice the price, so it's not a fair comparison. The utouch has a nicer interface, but the N800 has a bigger screen. The N800 is essentially open source where the itouch is locked down. It depends on what you want to do with it. SKype is an interesting option. As a toy to play around with, the N800 is hard to beat at 2 bills.

[RLP06]

don't buy.. i doubt girls would like that phone

Already did, I figured video calling would be kinda cool

[LimitedEdition]

what the heck. all this "noise" about a tablet web device! are you people all working for some marketing agency hired by dell or nokia! keep up the good work .. because its working! haha

i'm about .... this close to ordering one. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

2 dell monitors, computer peripherals, 4 gb ram, 2 nds, R4's, logitech wireless products, cordless phones, movie tickets, 50" SONY RP, cell phone w Rogers, JUNK from Canadian Tire ... everything i can live without but choose not too haha.

[input]

Do you think they will have the WRT54GL on sale? I need one!

[Deals Deals Deals]

Anyone planning on using this as a portable media player (like a iPod)?

[Deals Deals Deals]

dumb question... you can't get internet if theres no unsecured wireless network or secured but you don't know the password right? not like a cell phone

Yes. But going on random networks might let someone else take information from the connection.

[Aske001]

Much as I love the N800, that's not quite fair. An 8 Gbyte iPod Touch costs $300. The N800 plus an 8 Gbyte SDHC card is at least $250 for us determined deal hunters, and probably more like $300 for most people. In other words, they're about the same price. They are just optimized for different purposes. I like them both, but I already have an iPod.

The RFD effect... :lol:

[Aske001]

Anyone planning on using this as a portable media player (like a iPod)?

Sure, but mainly for video where the big screen is an advantage. It's too big and clunky to carry around all the time compared to tiny pocket-size MP3 music players, and it doesn't store as much music as my hard-drive iPod. I tend to prefer a big hard drive for music storage because I just keep dumping every bit of music I rip or download onto it and never erasing any. I'm still only 1/3 of the way through my CD collection, but I'll get to it all eventually, one song at a time.

[Aske001]

If there's no WiFi available and you need to connect the N800 to a wired ethernet port, you need one of those compact wireless travel routers. TSCC has the Belkin Travel Router on clearance right now for $32. Just in case anyone had any money left over that they were going to spend on food for the orphans at Christmas. :cheesygri

Update: can't recommend the Belkin Travel Router after trying it. It's a P.O.S. - some of the features don't work, and it seems that Belkin just gave up on trying to fix them and dumped the product.

[chuck232]

Damn, bought it at NCIX at few weeks ago for $245. Thought that was already a good deal.

Good stuff Dell. ;)

I'm hoping for a sale on the 2407FPW... can't deal with these TN panels popping up everywhere.

TN panel monitors are not the worst panel. 2407fpw HC also has its common ghosting issue. You don't find non HC 2407fpw at dell.ca anymore.

I'm not too worried about the ghosting as I don't play games much anymore - I got into web/graphics development over the past year and a bit and my TN panel with its poor color reproduction/viewing angles are getting in the way.

[wranglery]

Is the SDHC a good deal?

Like the other post said, after PM with FS, it's $50.99 plus taxes for me. I am happy with that price. For some, it may not be the hottest. For myself, I consider it's a good deal. I am sure prices will come down later. But that's another story.....

Have you ever look at the BenQ FP241W? This is one of the model which has good reviews compare to Dell 2407wfp or 2407wfp HC. Price is also cheaper then Dell 2407wfp.

So TEMPTED!!! MUST RESIST!!! I just bought a laptop, why the hell do I need this!!! :confused: But deep down inside I want to OWN one of these!

[jiffylube1024]

Ordered the 248WFP (actually told my parents it's what I want for Christmas, as they said they'd get me a nice present this year).

I'm getting the 24" TN 248WFP to replace my 22" Acer 22" TN screen. Not sure why so many people are so picky about TN film monitors (the Dell 228WFP was a steal before, the 248 is now at that resolution!). I'm not complaining though - quality is fine and price is right for me :D .

[Vacillator]

In for the N800. Merry Christmas to me :D

I bought a Dinovo Edge because I love gadgets. N800 @ $199 -- no brainer.

What's the battery life on these? Is Winamp available? :D

[slyn69]

does anyone know when the day 2 deals will be up? i stayed up until 3am (pacific time) last night waiting for the day 1 deals to go up and they still weren't there.

[tamagold]

They go live in the mornings. Probably 7AM-ish on the early side, sometimes it's a bit late and takes until 10AM though.

[uman]

Lasted until 10:30 PM before breaking down and ordering the N800. Just couldn't resist :(

[SurgeArrest]

I already have a box with N800 sitting as a birthday present for someone, did a huge research prior to ordering that one, for $264 from DirectCanada.. now this one for 199... amazing deal.

Reading CHM/PDF eBooks is great on this device, web browsing is easy since it has the same resolution as $399 eee PC (800x480), but size is smaller and battery life is the same as eee PC. Wifi reception on this tablet is better then any laptop around and WAY better then my PowerBook G4 12". N810 is definitely cute, but by the time prices drop on N810 there will be N900 with WiMax and stuff and you will want N900 which will again keep price for 1/2 year and N1000 will be released with WiMax, GPS and new cool 2009 MaxHiWiFiEnd and 1Gb ethernet all in size of a match box with foldable AMOLED 24" touchscreen. :evil:

It is Linux, so there will be always be some sort of community around devices already in the wild, so for another 3 years there will be no shortage of new software. Also a lot of Maemo software is written in scripting language Python, so no recompilation is even required if something new and shiny is out but not available for N8XX.

So only 1 hour is left, what are you waiting for? ;)

[JiNuWiNe]

Can anyone remember last year if any laptops were part of this deal of 12 days or just accessories and other equipment.

I am contemplating if I should order an laptop right now, but it seems that all my saved laptop configuration got wiped out and when I choose same configuration now it costs more , good I printed my copy of the two different configurations.. now I don't know if I should wait to next year ..

[s2k]

Is this card compatible with the n800 and is it a good deal on it?

http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/Accessories/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&cs=cadhs1&sku=A1180168

I'm pretty sure you'll be fine with that card. It's not a great deal, but it's not bad either. Personally I'm waiting for the 16gb cards to get cheaper before I buy.

Amazon has a class 6 SDHC card for $56 US.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P9ZBFA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

The Kensington that Dell is selling is a class 4 card, which means a minimum 4mb / second tranfser rate.

To utilize SDHC cards, you may have to patch your OS2007 operating system or upgrade to OS2008. I've downloaded the OS2008 files, but I think I'm going to wait for the official release before I upgrade.

[HowEver]

Ordered the LaCie Hub yesterday, received before noon today.

I've wanted this since they started selling them earlier this year, but there was no Canadian source, the Canadian dollar was worth/less and shipping was the cost of the unit.

Now Dell ships it to me with free shipping in 24 hours, for $30 less than MSRP.

Thanks Dell, and thanks RFD!

[duckdown]

How are you guys getting such fast deliveries?

My estimated shipping date isn't even until next Wednesday (The 12th).. What gives :(

[canook]

Dell's estimates aren't really accurate. It's not uncommon for items to arrive next-day. It's also not that uncommon for them to be backordered and take considerably longer. For such a big company, their order tracking leaves a great deal to be desired, but I'm happy when I end up on the next-day side of things.

[ludhi]

talk about fast deliveriess.. i still havent received my cod 4 for 360 from the first dell dayss deal (nov 20th) ..:mad:

Mine is processed, but the description says the item is unavailable and Dell is working ....

Does anyone else have the same issue?

[Canadianpsycho]

Uh, wtf? My order was processing with a ship date of 12/06/2007. I checked just now and get:

Delivery date of your product might have been changed.
This could have been prompted by the following circumstances:

Mismatch between billing and credit card information.
A system issue that interrupted the order entry flow

If the above occurred as a result of mismatched billing information, you will be contacted directly by one of our representatives within the next 2-3 business days.

If this does not happen, feel free to contact us at Ca_canadacs@dell.com or at 1(800)847-4096

Blah, I really don't want to sit on hold to talk to some outsourced dude in broken english to b*tch about my order if they screwed up. Anyone else having this issue atm?

edit: 5000 Posts! Wee!

EDIT2: NEVERMIND, its back to normal.

[YLSF]

Mine says it will ship out today but then says they don't have stock and are working on resolving it....

Originally my shipout date was Dec 12th

[timmui]

if anyone change their mind about the n800 or have one forsale, please pm me.

will pay up to $250 in GTA

[duckdown]

Man I wish this damn n800 would ship already

Stupid thing says TODAY is the estimated ship date but I still have no shipping acknowledgement and the status is unchanged

God damn you, Dell

[JmanHulk]

At least you guys have shipping dates, I got an "Order Acknowledged" email but never got a confirmed one. I still don't have an order number.

[Canadianpsycho]

Kinda got my hopes up when they switched it to the 6th... Really wanted to play with it this weekend :(

[Gujustud]

Just like they always do, I bet that they only had about 50 in stock, but got 500 orders. We'll probably wait till next year to get our order.

[duckdown]

Kinda got my hopes up when they switched it to the 6th... Really wanted to play with it this weekend :(

Exactly :(

Same here

[s2k]

My n800 still says in production with an est ship date of Dec 13. Granted you cna never go by their estimates, it seems to go from one state to at your door with no notice, from 1 day to 1 month. Hopefully these will ship before the holidays at least.

[Ctrl-Z]

Well I'll join the parade. My N800 is "currently being processed". Estimated ship date was Dec 5th. One might hope that once the estimated ship date has passed, Dell would update it but no...

[duckdown]

Blech.. day is over and status hasn't changed, no shipping confirmation

Dell sucks

[JiNuWiNe]

So has ANYONE received their N800 yet? Mine is on backorder.... freakin' eh.

[Canadianpsycho]

bad news, just chatted online with a Dell rep:

1:13:48 PM CCCS Alex B I have looked with the company and they will be receiving this item on the 17th.
1:14:00 PM Ouch, so it won't be sent out until the 17th?
1:14:13 PM CCCS Alex B that is correct.
1:14:53 PM CCCS Alex B there is a 3 to 4 business day shipping time before the item gets to the shipping location.
1:15:15 PM So they get it the 17th and then another 3-4 days?
1:15:18 PM CCCS Alex B It should be getting there around the 21st.
1:15:31 PM So I won't see it until around the 22nd or 23rd then?
1:15:51 PM CCCS Alex B the 21st.
1:16:00 PM So before Xmas then?
1:16:13 PM CCCS Alex B yes that is correct.
1:16:19 PM OK thanks for the info
1:16:38 PM CCCS Alex B is there anything else i can do for you today
1:16:42 PM No, thank you.

Damn it, was just gonna post a similar experience... I called in too and gave some poor Indian guy at the call center $hit, and he said yeah, they don't even have it in stock at all and next shipment delivery isnt until later in the month

This totally blows... Don't they sell the n800 in any retail outlets around here like a Future Shop or Best Buy? I guess the deal isn't/wasn't PMable at all?

I really was looking forward to playing with this, now I'm not even gonna get it until Christmas

[ganiba]

A friend of mine ordered the n800 for me and didn't receive the order confirmation by email. He called DELL yesterday and they told him that they didn't received any order from him, it's like the transaction has never been done.
Is there someone here in the same situation? Thanks.

[jiffylube1024]

My E248WFP arrived yesterday, and I got a chance to hook it up today.

I'm very pleased with it! Right out of the box colours look good, but the brightness is a tad high for my taste. I dropped the brightness from 50 to 40 and now it looks gorgeous.

Obviously not as perfect colour accuracy as a 2405 or 2407 Dell Ultrasharp, but solid nonetheless. This is a bright, vivid, gorgeous screen!!!

The stand footprint is nice and small too!

has anyone thought of picking up a tiny keyboard maybe to go along with this thing? do they exist? i guess some kind of mini blutooth keyboard

[YLSF]

I have a foldable keyboard for my Dell Axim. It is called "Stoway" made by Thinkoutside (but branded by Dell). I bough it off someone on RFD a while back. I imagine the same thing will work on the N800...

[YLSF]

AWESOME.. Mine is shipped too! At TO depot. I am going to make sure I stick around at the office all day long to collect my package! How long does it need to charge for before it can be used?

I just upgraded my Dell Axim X50v to WM6 at the end of last week and now I have a "new" toy and a "upgraded" old toy. Going to play with the axim more now that I can load newer software on it.... excited! (geez.. how geeky does THAT sound)

Is it rather small when its all folded up?

It is very small when folded up.

Looks like this :

The black one. I paid much less so you can probably find it cheaper somewhere.

I will test to see if it works with the N800 after I get mine (should be today so will try to test tomorrow)..

I don't see it listed under list of supported devices but I don't see why it wouldn't work!

It was pretty cold, I guess in the Purlator truck for a while so I am going to let it get back to room temp before charging it and using it later today!

Are these the kind of cards that this device needs? I've never messed with these microSD/miniSD/SDHC things before. are these compatible right away? some guy above said we need an OS update to even get use out of these

let me know, thanks

[Gujustud]

WTH? Mine is still showing a estimated ship date of Dec 5th.

Duckdown...

You can get a 8gb SDHC from Dell for a decent price. Search around the forums for the link.

Depends what you want to do with the card and what you want to store on it. If you want to play DIVX people were saying you need to upgrade to 2008 OS, not 100% sure though, I haven't tried.

Monoprice has an 8GB Class 6 for $58US but currently not in stock

Picked up an 8GB Class 6 SDHC just now from Canada Computers...only 50 bucks on sale

http://www.canadacomputers.com/main.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=016564&cid=990.218

I had never heard of the brand myself, but after checking the n800 forums at internettablet.com or whatever I saw that many people were reccomending the A-Data brand (Newegg sells the same ones) because its the best bang for the buck.. obviously this is not some top quality brand but for $50 you cant go wrong

Just got home, will try it out shortly

A-data is a decent brand. Good price too.

Just remember to update your tablet before using SDHC. Mine came with 26-8, you need 38-2 to correct SDHC issues.

[duckdown]

Sweet, card works great

is detected right away proper size and all under INTERNAL MEMORY , looking good!

Just put openssh, x-chat, xterm, and a few other neccessities on it.. time to rock & roll

Just gotta figure out how to crack WEP on it now, so I can always get on the net :)

Hey,

Is A-data better or Kingston? Kingston 8GB SDHC from Dell. (http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/Accessories/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&cs=cadhs1&sku=A1180168) It was on sale for $59.99, PM FS for $50.99, so same price as A-data. Which is better?

[Canadianpsycho]

Does anyone else's display have a greyish tint on the right side? Didn't notice it until I had a fully white screen:

Both are decent enough. Go with the brand you are comfortable with.

Hrrm, searched around the http://www.internettablettalk.com forums and it appears this is normal for the unit and has to do with the "light emitters"

[duckdown]

Ahhh, I was just about to come and post about the slight rippling on the right-hand side.. Thought it was some kind of BANDING defect or something, but I'm more relieved hearing its a more common thing..

Yep, mine has them too.

As for the A-Data vs. Kingston thing.. as long as they're both Class 6 then I'd say either is great! (from what I read everyone is reccomending class6)

how to turn off the scrren when at charge?
the scrren will always on and show "charging" at center.

Canola sucks for divx (unconverted). mplayer works without conversion but is a little buggy.

it seems every software install at internal memory.
does anybody knows how to install at SD cards.
if the internal memory is also for system swap or something,
if use too much, it may cost sytem performace, is it right?

Is it possible to run MSN Messenger on it? It would be amazing if it does.

Hmm.. I thought ItemFinder already gave you the answer on page 22?? You can use Pidgin on N800 to log into MSN messenger network, but you can't run MSN messenger(Windows Program) on Linux.. Unless wine can be install under maemo OS and MSN messenger works with it(Which I have no clue)

For Pidgin on N800. here is the link I found.

Samething. it was rename from GAIM to Pidgin.

If you don't want to use plugin..

try use your N800 web browser and go to the following link. I think it's the mobile version of regular "Web MSN messenger"

http://mobile.msn.com/device/en-us/default.aspx

Click on the Messenger and it should get you to the Windows Live login page..

Woot, mine finally got a tracking number.

Anyone outside of Toronto receive their n800 yet? Mine has been in transit now since Friday. Typically I get things next day from Dell once they ship but this seems to be stuck in limbo with Purolator with no updates.

Got mine yesterday. Flashed it up to the 2008 Beta OS. I like it a lot better with the new OS, looking forward to the final version.

BTW, do not forget to check out the skype and the built in SIP clients.
Just set your sip server, login and password, your N800 becomes a phone.
Pair a SIP account (Get one free from Gizmo Project if you do not have one) with a GrandCentral account, you can make free long D calls to anywhere in US and Canada.

just buy any PDA screen protector and cut it to the right size.
PSP has about the same screen size as n800, you can buy some PSP screen protectors.
DealExtreme has some 4.3 inch and PSP screen protectors for 1 buck or 2.

I have put on a new screen protector last week.
The scratch starts to come back.
I think the problem is in the stylus not the screen protector.

I plan on picking up some premium protectors, either Martin Field or the Crystal one from Boxwave.

[RLP06]

A friend of mine ordered the n800 for me and didn't receive the order confirmation by email. He called DELL yesterday and they told him that they didn't received any order from him, it's like the transaction has never been done.
Is there someone here in the same situation? Thanks.


It happened previously when I got a NAS, they wouldn't give it to me at the sale price

Does this premium protectors (presumably, thicker plastic) reduce the sensitivity of the touch screeen?

Same thing happened to me with the 4GB SDHC card - the order just seemed to vanish into their system. I did email them about it, but couldn't really be bothered to follow up as there are always other deals on SD cards out there. That does suck though about the N800.

[Woah!]

Likewise!
But,I was at work an missed their delivery to my home by 1hr.>:(
Funny...my estimated ship date for the n800 still shows Dec 12th,with a delivery date of the 19th.
Not complaining.:D
Yay,more toys!!!!

They're thinner, designed to be used with touchscreens.

I called Purolator, as the truck hasn't come by my work yet, and they are usually here around 12ish. I figure the holiday rush with all the packages are slowing him down, but I'm hoping he'll be here in the next 9 mins!

WEAK! I waited till 6pm at work for Purolator to come by, and they didn't. So I went home, and checked the tracking again. It said 5:07pm: Attempted delivery, business closed.

PSHHHHHH!!! I can see the outside front area of our office if they came by! They never did!

All I know is some N800 users have had issues with SDHC card ending up with corrupted data. I'd rather not worry about the issue and therefore I updated my OS.

I'm contemplating moving to OS2008 beta, divx/xvid is a little choppy in fast action scenes in mplayer - I'm wondering if the cpu speed improvement will help. I'd really like to avoid converting video files. haven't tried UKMP yet as it keeps telling me I'm missing some library files and I'm pretty Linux stupid so it will take time to figure out exactly what that means ;)

Pidgin works well, chatted with some family members with it last night. ScummVM works great, I tried Day of the Tentacle and Sam and Max last night.

[Gujustud]

Woot, Purolator finally showed up with it ;)

I gotta admit I'm glad I upgraded from the 770 to this one. There certainly is a speed difference. And its not as big as I thought it was compared to the 770.
