While I am in *love* with my n800, I will admit it IS a frustrating experience ATM.

Trying to get apps with the repos[i]tories :-) at the moment is frustrating, and the updates listed won't update for apparently missing packages. Chasing around the net to find listed apps can certainly be a challenge :-).

The threads on the 2008 OS, *WHICH* version of the 2008 OS do they relate to ?!? Is the new one really problematical or do the problems relate to the old one or both??!!!??

I keep threatening to toss it in the drawer (open wifi hot spots around here are sparse and teathering (if it is even allowed / possible on my generally crippled AT&T Phone) is more expensive that I care to pay for) and just go back to the Palm, but I won't. For the time being I do carry the Palm, just because I can sync it to jpilot / kpilot.

Linux is "free" but you got to make an effort to learn to deal with something :-) otherwise wincrap :-( is for you.

I think this will all be resolved in time and I'll be patient :-).

Many MANY thanks to all those doing the porting and the rest of it, the n800 (all I have :-) is worth the wait.

All in due_time(); And I'll keep beating on it, as it sits it ain't too shabby :-)!

Once I figure out if the new 2008 is ready / fixed / whatever I'll probably just do a wipe / install and start with [correct?!? / fixed ?!?] repositories and reload all the apps (will original 2008 apps work with the new version?!?) and see what happens, probably won't be disappointed :-). I guess why this bothers me is too many wipe / reinstalls with wincrap over the years (decades) and I am a bit sensitive to that :-) LOL.
