tablets and Windows and Linux are all breakable by downloading and installing apps you then don't like and cannot get rid of. that is what backups and OS images are for. I have reflashed my N800 3 or 4 times and it takes me about 30 minutes to get the thing back to how I want it if I need to reflash - take a backup before you install any app, and it's then a doddle to reflash and restore using the Windows tool from Nokia - A lot easier than doing the same with Windows. the tablet will automatically reinstall your applications for you - not seen windows do that!
Well maby then there is a good chance that you know something that i dont so if you do then how do you install the rotation support without going into xterm? What about booting from an external card? These are the sort of things that im talking about.

Like for example how would i get rid of those themes without going into xterm or using a command line of sorts, givin the fact that when i installed them i didnt realise that i needed to make up a backup? I dont know of a way but maby someone with your background does?
