I got my n800 from buy.com last month and it seems to flash just fine. Flashed the beta 2008 and didn't like it and flashed back to 2007. Flashed the official release of 2008 and that has been doing fine, only thing that crashed on it so far has been garnet and it did get it's brains scrambled once requiring sshing in and doing a shutdown -r on it.

Other than that, no complaints other than pararnoia resulting from reading all the problems on this site.

It stays on 24/7 and is on the charger while I am up (~16 hours a day). Just to spite the green nags :-).

I have not flashed the new 2008 as it is doing everything it can that I need ATM.
