So I would feel quite confident in Iraq that I could keep my N800 running just fine.

(It is amazing what disparate problems we can have starting from such a similar environment!)

Hi geneven,

I guess you were directing this at me considering you mentioned Iraq. The point is, I could not get it running after reflashing, reflashing, reflashing, reflashing, reflashing, and finally reflashing. Six, count'em six reflashings and no joy. Sorry but I do not share your optimism regarding just reflash and go. Needless to say, I will take my Mac with me and have my N800 as an extra device. Once these issues are worked out, and I am pretty confident it will eventually, I will have a bit more faith in the N800 as a quasi-replacement device.

Cheers.
