Nokia upgrades its Internet tablet

It’s the latest addition to Nokia high-end N-series of smartphones. The Finnish phone maker today launched a new Internet tablet, which comes with a slide-out keyboard and a GPS receiver. No WiMAX, but more pocket-friendly.

The N810, as its predecessors, only works as a stand-alone Internet tablet as long as there is a Wi-Fi hotspot from in range. The new device will work with Boingo Wireless, Earthlink and The Cloud locations, Nokia said. When there is no hotspot available, the tablet will connect to a cellphone via Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR and retrieve and send data over a cellular network.

The N810 is expected to become available in November for a suggested retail price of $479.
