Hey, at least you're having an upgrade experience. Which is more than I'm getting.
I'm trying, but Nokia doesn't provide any link to the updater wizard software they say I need in the #1 step in their instructions, their support search sucks, so I can't find it there, and when I tried to do a support query through their online form, it crashed and told me they were doing "scheduled maintenance". . . . at 9:20PM????? But the form didn't have a drop-down item for N810 in their list of devices, anyway. What a terrible company! I think I like them until every time I try to find something on their website.
Oh well, tomorrow's another day. . .

Hey- first post here.
So, i've had my N810 for 2 days now.
Didn't want to customize it too much because of the update.
I, like many others, had such a hard time just getting to the server with the update-
I tried the internet tablet software upgrade path as well.
What a bad design: you have to have your N810 plugged into the computer in order to even download the upgrade. It took 2 hours to download the file, which was more battery life than i had... so the N810 shut off, and the download stopped.
So now i'm back to (the 4th time) charging my N810 fully so that i can connect again and try to get the software (i'm on a bonded T1 connection at work).
there has got to be a better way... i'm so disappointed.

If anyone has managed to download RX-44_2008SE_2.2007.50-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin please post a torrent or the whole file to rapidshare. Nokia seem to be so poor company that they can't even build a decent server that could handle some download.

No offense to anyone here, but I believe the worst upgrade experience I have had was the Maintenance Release for my Palm Treo 700p. My phone still does not work correctly six months later.

The worst upgrade experience may be my Logitech Harmony remote control - every time I want to edit it, a 40MB download is forced down my throat at a speed against which Nokia still was turbocharged on the first day of the OS2008 release, followed by a installation process that eats up all CPU for minutes.
And so far none of these "updates" has ever fixed a bug or added a feature - on the contrary, since I bought that thing, two features which I frequently used did get removed or got handling "improvements" that made them entirely useless, and the software is constantly getting slower, more bloated and less usable.

With the current download speed problems from the servers, the best bet is to d/l to your PC and then in the Upgrade Wizard point to the downloaded filename.
Once the .bin file was on my PC the upgrade worked very quickly.
Side benefit: in case you need to re-flash the N800 (after tinkering around under the hood!), you already have the file.
