Had mine for a week now, the local PCWorld (UK's 'Best Buy') was doing a deal on N800/810's (40/80 units of currency instead of 150/200) and i've wanted one for a while. So i snagged me a N810.

Good: Upgraded to Diablo as soon as the box was opened, been having loads of fun loading up apps. Canola2 (plus the plugins), A-GPS (which isn't really 'assisted' at all...), The GPS chip, btw is pretty damn accurate, as good as my HoluxIII, quite impressed. Fennec (definitely still in beta....), mYTube, Streamtuner, MPlayer, Media Streamer, Video Centre (still undecided if Canola2 doesn't duplicate all that these do), GPS Camera (why?!?!?), LCARRS (now that is just FUN!!!). I'm running all my videos through Nokia's tablet converter first and i'm happy with the results. i have the Android installer and files stored on the external card, just have to pull the trigger.


Not so good: I'm not a Linux guy (yet), so some of the app's that require 'going under the hood' and 'recompiling' are giving me a headache (root user changes to navit.xml to get Garmin maps to work, huh??) and i didn't like dealing with Google maptiles when i had map software on my PSP so Maemo Mapper isn't making me happy. Also, why the h311 does the default email client refuse to accept my password, the same password that works on EVERY other email app i use? Finally, the BT connection to my phone keeps dropping while i'm out. Its stays locked to my WiFi at home without any problems.


Not afraid to figure it all out, i've spent a lot of time making S60 phones (i currently use an E90) and thing like PSP's do things that the manufacturers didn't originally plan on, but its a new learning curve, so expect to see me about.

Thanks.
