The N810's browser has a Flash 9 plugin, and supports "class 8 and 9" AJAX (asynchronous Javascript and XML), something no other mobile device can do, Toivainen claims.

Um... pardon? Can someone translate this? And here I thought "class 4 AJAX" was all anyone could ever need.

What it means is it comes with a Gecko-based browser with full Javascript support, as opposed to the cut-down mobile browser (Opera?) it had before.

I think they typoed, they were probably referring to Flash versions, not AJAX versions.
