Hi everybody. Some of you might remember me posting on this forum around this time last year, when I'd just bought a 770. At that time I was deliberating getting an N800. Well, I never did because the 770 served my needs pretty well and continued to do so (eBooks, occasional browsing and satnav in the car). But recently I saw a factory refurb N800 for a bargain price and got it.

I'd like to thank whoever it was who put out the dodgy firmware that meant certain N800s wouldn't turn on. This is obviously why my particular N800 went back to the factory (it appears a girl called Annie had it--sorry Annie!). Anyway, after a handful of sessions of sticking it in the freezer, and then flashing it with OS2008, I'm pleased to say it now works fine! A bizarre introduction to a new piece of hardware but if it works then it works.

But I've got to say I'm not overly impressed by OS2008. It looks great but seems a bit slow, especially browsing. In fact, it's really as slow and laggish as my 770. It's just that it can access more websites.

It's fun to be able to access Google maps and Docs but they're too slow to be useful. Gmail is just about OK, but I may as well switch to HTML mode, as I've always done with my 770.

Is there a way of reverting back to Opera without having to revert to OS2007? Is reverting to OS2007 a good idea?

Is there any way of optimizing OS2008?
