A preview of the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet has been posted over at Brighthand. 'This model has approximately the same form-factor as the 770 but it's not exactly identical. It felt very comfortable to hold. On its back, there's a bulge across the top, where the stylus slot and web cam are, so I don't see how anyone could drop the device.Speaking of the web cam, this located in a small, retractable arm that looks a bit like a cell phone antenna. It can be twisted around to face forward or backward. It allows N800 users to do video chatting.

The front of this handheld is dominated by the 800-by-480-pixel touchscreen. This device doesn't have an integrated hardware keyboard, but Nokia engineers have worked hard to make one unnecessary. Here's my favorite feature. If you touch the icon to open the on-screen keyboard with the stylus, you'll get a small one suitable for use with a stylus. If, on the other hand, you touch the icon with your fingertip, a much larger keyboard opens, and this one can be typed on with a finger.'
