Just got my n800, please help me.
 

Hey guys! I just got my N800 today. Circutcity shipped it out in 1 day, wow.

I've been reading these forums since 2 days ago and I got convinced into buying the N800 from this forum. I'm so excited and love the device. I really need some help though~

I have a 1gb SD card that I bought for $30 for my camera. I already put the 128mb card that the Nokia came with, into the device. I don't know where to put the 1GB card, and I don't know if I'm supposed to install something on it first. Where is the devices OS installed? the 128 card?

I tried setting up the email, but it asked for info that I knew nothing about...Is it possible to register my MSN e-mail account on the phone, or what? it asked for some server names n crap.

I read not to install OS2008 yet, where can I find the latest updates on its beta progress?

Well, I don't know much about the SD cards it takes. Where do you all buy them? I heard someone saying 1GB for 3-5 dollars! I spent $30 on mine. =(

now I'm going to look around these forums and decide what programs to install!

Hey, I just picked one up about 4 days ago, and im glad I did. I dont know much, but one memory card slot is behind the battery cover and one hidden behind the upright stand. The OS is installed on the phones memory bank its self.

Im not too sure about MSN email but there is a guide on google on how to set up Gmail which is straight forward, with step by step instructions. Here is the guide btw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlV4Hj7XfdA

As for the OS2008, its official from Nokia and I just updated it, you can get the software to update it here: http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4321027

As for memory cards, im in the UK and use My Memory

Hope this helps :)

Have you tried the Internet Tablet School website? It has video and discussions on a variety of topics that are useful for newbies (like me!)

@Kotonokia: You can get memory cards from many places. I got my 8gb from newegg.com and it works just fine. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820208293

Is the Nokia N800 compatible with 16GB cards? If not, will it ever be?

Re: Just got my n800, please help me.
 

It seems as 16gb works: http://internettablettalk.com/forums...ad.php?t=10949

I just ordered my N800 yesterday from CiruitCity also and got it this morning... Yahoo I have already installed the OS 2008 on it. Now have to go and install programs, but how do you install programs to the SD Cards. I have installed a 512MB card and a 1GB card that I had. Also is there a way to copy my book marks and put them on the SD card and have it transfer over to the N800 book marks; I have a lot of them and wanted to see if there was a easy way of doing this. I also paired it with my Blackberry 8830 with bluetooth for on the go web acess.

It's compatible with SDHC cards up to 2048GB.

Re: Just got my n800, please help me.
 

This may sound stupid, but whats a card reader? Well once I had a computer that didn't have any SD slots like my new one, so I bought a card reader so that I could upload my pictures from my digital camera to my computer. but..reason I ask is because when I look for SDHC cards online, people say that they aren't compatible with their card reader. Why wouldn't they be compatible? If I bought this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820208293
then would I just need to take it out of the package and use it? Or do I have to install something? I don't know what a "kernal" is/does.

I haven't used my 1GB SD card yet since I'm not sure if I have to do something first. Don't want to break it.

At FYE (some mall store) a 1GB SD card was like $30. Whats the difference between SD and SDHC and why are SDHC cheaper? Do these things corrupt easily or something?

What screen protector should I buy? Does the n800 have an official one?


annnd, how do I use the backup feature on my N800? Sorry, first device I've ever owned.

Glad to see you chose wisely and got in in so fast. Mine was a gift but like you, I researched like mad to get something that will work for me. Then I asked the wife for it :0)

The card is irrelevant. You don't need one at all. You can use one to add large amounts of music, video, documents, or anything else your heart desires.
Either slot is fine, just be aware the internal one isn't meant to be "hot swapped" meaning you shouldn't just pull it out when the device is running. The external slot under the stand can be removed on the fly, but I never hot-swap that one either, to ensure the card doesn't error out or hang a system daemon.
One gig cards are truly cheap now- about ten US dollars for one at some places (walmart always has a sale for cheapies) but you can also get a 4 GB for under $50 if you look around online (like Newegg.com for example.)


I don't use MSN, but you should be able to get to it from the web browser. I've used online email "Webmail" for work, my own server, and Comcast. MSN should be the same. Just log into your account right from the browser.



2008 will most likely be necessary to view your email online, the newer OS really makes a difference in what you can browse to- with more support for Java and Flash sites too. As you have heard it's no longer Beta either. Stop installing applications now because you'll just have to reinstall them again after the upgrade. And for elCamino, just export your bookmarks onto a card or move them over to the n800 with USB, then you can use File Manager to get to them.

Have fun!:D
