Alternatively, take a look at the Internet Tablet School's video of how to update the N810 firmware, which shows the N810 swap key being pressed (it's the video labelled "Updating the firmware on the Nokia N810"):

This is totally unintuative and confusing for users. I found this doing a search on the internet and I've worked in IT as a trainer for years.

Anyhow - I've tried to do it and it still doesn't work (and I've had lots of experience with an N770). Maybe I'll have to download the video. If it wasn't for my parents I'd send it back to the shop.

To be honest it's p1ssing me off now. Why would you make a product that can only be used by total geeks (no offence to the people on here)?

I thought my problems with the N770 were all because it was ditched so early by Nokia - now I realise it's just shoddy design and documentation.

PS. How sodding hard would it have been to show the overlapping windows button in the graphic on the update tool!!?
