The Browser and the Application manager often shut down automaticly,many programs can't be installed.
I can't input Chinese .

I'm in the 2008 club!
Those of you with photographic memories will recall that I was complaining about having a hard time flashing in Linux.
True, and after more than 30 tries, I gave up.
Today I decided to try it in Windows, just to see what happened. I ran the Nokia flash software (probably an old version) and got set up to flash almost immediately. Yes, I could see the usb icon! Unlike in Linux, where the usb icon always disappeared quickly, too quickly to use.
There I was looking at my N800, and I decided not to waste the opportunity. I went to my Linux computer and sent the RX-whatever file to my Windows computer and told the software to install it. And it did!
No problem, in contrast to the Linux problem -- and I love and prefer Linux.
2008 looks great! So far...

Got it this morning.. I don't know if it's wishful thinking, but my n800 seems faster, snappier. WE'll have to wait and see... but I like it so far... SIP stack connects to my asterisk PBX SIP no sweat, and the browser works on a number of sites that previously did not... We should open a n800 with OS2008 forum...
http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/ The size is about 135Mb:
RX-34_2008SE_1.2007.44-4_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
MD5:900353C77FC7357A8A6A40B0B9483C2C
I'm downloading it and try,I am worrying about the SCIM,I need to input Chinese with SCIM.I'll install SCIM to try .
