Cheers thanks for the help,
So far my only issues with OS2008 is:
Xchat (much better than the other integrated IRC clients, I used Skyhuskers on bora, I have tried doing a standard compile on Chinook SDK and could compile Xchat but it doesn't run correctly and the buttons are too close together and can't connect to an IRC server)
Maemo Mapper is a must for me as well, and I can't seem to get it to work on OS2008
Repositorys don't seem to be compleatly up to date yet ( I couldn't install pidgin till I added a repository for mistral from maemo hackers, I also have a massive distaste with installing repository's for a different distro onto another distro, just comes across as messy house keeping)
No FM tuner (but I would imagine it would be in OS2008 final for N800
Samba browsing doesn't seem to allow me to add in a password for a found samba server and displays a blank folder.
BUT..
most of my issues are 3rd party related and it isn't fair to lay these onto the N800 OS2008 beta, for what its designed to do browsing the web email and all that kinda stuff out of the box its fine.
All that said, I love my n800 and the OS's and wouldn't be here if I didn't!
thanks to all the devs working on the N8XX OS's makes me love it even more.
