Hello All,

I have just ordered an N800 after a bit of research but still have some further questions (I won't get it until next Friday which is miles away for a fiend).

1) What sort of shell do/can you get with the N800 using 0S2008? Is it a fully functional shell of say type BASH?

2) I have checked the Maemo site and see they have some good documentation available for programming but I would like to know how easy it is to build apps in Python or Ruby? I would have preferred to use Java but wouldn't mind learning P or R, I just want to avoid C/C++. Shame about the Java status!

3) I saw a thread about FTP in this forum, does that mean that nothing exists on the N800 for easily sharing files between devices/PC's?

4) Aimed at any other coders; What have you found the best way to code for the N800, like which language, which tools etc?

Thanks to anyone who can give me some feedback on any of the above.
