To put it politely, I'm a tad annoyed.

**Stands up nervously and clears throat**
Hello everyone.
I'm new here and my name is Steve (maybe you guessed that already)
I have been the owner of a Nokia 800 Internet tablet for less than a week. I bought it off eBay as being "Like new" (which it is) for £129.
So far, I'm pretty impressed with it, especially the screen but there are a couple of niggles, especially re this repository malarkey.
Take the camera as an example.
Like all newbies, (maybe) I saw the camera and went to find out how it works. I discovered that I had to install the software from within the OS2008 software which was fair enough and easy to do.
The snag is that only AFTER installing the software did I find out that to use the camera as a basic digital camera and not as a webcam, the software has to be installed in a different way.
Only snag is that once used to install the camera as a webcam, the software disappears, or seems to, and there doesn't seem any way to get it back. Maybe it's just me doing it wrong and if so, I'll get down on my knees and apologise to my Nokia.
Totally off topic here but have you noticed anything odd about the video tutorials for the Nokia 800?
I find it very funny that the App called Canola (or a word similar to that) which makes the Home screen very user friendly is demonstrated on a tablet using the standard Home screen. The Home screen on all the other demo videos is the standard Home screen too. I just ask myself, "If it's so good, why isn't the guy doing the demos using it?"
That doesn't mean I applaud the guy for his hard work and dedication any less. He obviously does a wonderful job and is a great help to many, including me.
Cheers
