Hi,
I'm running OS2008 on my n800. I want to upgrade to Diablo and get my N800 back in the same state I have now. I have lots of data on my big "internal" memory SD card. I have lots of settings, like the dozen programs in my "personal menu", and all the settings for Garnet VM.

I searched, but I have not found any step-by-step procedure for upgrading to Diablo, to minimize the amount of manual re-entry I will have to do. Can anyone advise me? Will I have to reintall all my apps and redo their settings? Will only my N800 internal memory, and not my media cards, get wiped? (I'm booting the default way, off the builtin internal memory, not off of either of my SD cards.)

Thanks in advance for your help!

One of the problems is that if you are just doing a simple flash upgrade it's pretty easy, so few post about it.
bunanson had a good thread on reinstalling apps etc. without backup/restore:

But basically
make sure you have a good copy of everything
get all data (doc, etc.) off boot drive
run the nokia backup if you want to - this creates a file which after flashing the OS will be able reinstall apps and limited data.
make sure your battery is fully charged
