Don’t get me wrong, OS2008 is good, very good in fact. But its plagued with problems that are likely to take Nokia at least a couple more updates to fix. Whilst my N800 is attempting to be my main computer I can’t really rely on a flaky OS. All the same OS2008 is a visual [...]

Nokia have made good on their promise to deliver the N800 upgrade to OS2008 before Christmas, with the files being made available through the Nokia Internet Tablet Update Wizard earlier today. Unfortunately it looks like every N800 owner is currently in the process of updating their operating system, so the server is massively overloaded. If [...]

I’ve selected a few 800×480 wallpapers which I use on my N800’s home screen as backgrounds. The images are, as far as I know anyway, in the public domain, however they will be removed if I’m informed otherwise.
First four are attached.

Mitch lauds the iPhone in comparison to the N8xx [...]

After a mighty delay and many false starts Nokia’s official case for the N800 became available about six weeks ago (in the UK at least) and being completely unimpressed with the OEM sleeve case I had to order one. I’ve had it for the best part of a month now so time to jot down [...]

The N800 lives or dies be connectivity, specifically Wifi connectivity lacking an integrated cellphone as it does. So connecting to my work network was going to be key to its utility for me. Which promised to be some fun and games, given that my work network is based around WPA, with a certificate and Active [...]

Unsurprisingly Expansys have failed to meet their four day target for the availability of the N810. l’m sure that this is as much to do with Nokia as Expansys themselves.
