Is there a list of settings on the N800 someone can point me to to tweak its behavior and make it more useful? It's annoying to type with right now.
Not sure if you are using OS2007 or OS2008. But in OS2007, you can go into the control panels and double tap on Hardware Keyboard. In this app, it will allow you to select one of 3 keyboards. I have found the "Generic 105-key PC" keyboard to work the best for me.

There is probably a way to edit the details of this spec, but I haven't found it (read: remap some of the keys). Perhaps someone with more info can fill us in.

I hope this helps,

Craig...

BTW, I believe there is a OS2008 equivalent, just don't remember what it is called.
