Best Buy spills beans on updated Nokia Internet Tablet?

Blackn810Next thing you know, Best Buy will give all of you my Reward Zone points. Ah, I'm not worried: I don't even have a 100 in my account. Yup, it looks like a Best Buy ad gave away an updated Nokia Internet Tablet based on what I'm seeing over at TabletBlog.

The first thought was that this was a Nokia N830, but then we'd all wonder "what happened to the N820?" since the N810 is the most recent model. No, it looks like the N810, but the device coloring is changed. Could a new black casing and orange backlighting on the keyboard mean that a WiMax model is just around the corner or is this scheme just an early Halloween paint job? Hmm.... inquiring mobile minds want to know...

It doesn't show up very well on the scan, but in the buyer's guide itself you can clearly see the product is marked as the 810. The surface of the keyboard is a little reflective and the light that the photo is taken in makes the keyboard appear black.

In this case no mystery!

No way, Andrew H. There's no way a trick of light can turn the keyboard and screen bezel black from silver, function keys orange from blue, and then allow the D pad remain silver and the screen to remain blue.

This is a black N810. There's no doubt about that. We will have to wait and find out if it is something more.
