I was sitting at mcdonalds watching fear and loathing on my n800. I went to turn the volume up and instead knocked over my large coke directly onto the face of the device. Seeing the liquid pooled in the screen and speaker recesses for that split second made me want to punch myself directly in the face for being so careless. But everything turned out ok and everything still works flawlessly, thank linus. Not even a sticky button.
Also, just a few days after getting the n800(while i still felt the need to have it in my hands at all times) i forgot it was in my lap while exiting a car and dumped it on the asphalt. Thankfully I sprung for the leather nokia carying case. All it suffered was cracked paint on the bottom corner of the really hard metal stand. A black sharpie marker promptly patched the blemish.
I 'had' a 4GB SD card installed in the internal slot. I noticed the path disappeared from the file manager when I removed the back panel. So I assumed that if it was unmounted then it must be safe to remove with the device on. *wrong*. Fried the bastard. The data that was on it is still readable via my usb flash reader and ubuntu, but is both unwritable and unflashable. lame. For this reason I am afriad to 'remove' my 8GB SD from the 'removable memory card' slot without totally powering down and unplugging the n800 altogether.
thats about it for me.
btw... whats everyones problem with apt-get upgrade ?
works great as long as all your repos are accesable.
Thats the only way i do it. try forcing a package with the gui. pfft..
wanna blow your mind? try apt-get dist-upgrade or learn what dpkg does
