Yes, just flash using the normal procedure, but download the OS2007 firmware instead.

i'm surprised to see your comment about the rss reader in 2008. i thought it was faster, more responsive and more stable.

Pardon my newb lack of knowledge, but how do I open the php, as it doesn't process through the 'normal procedure'.
Thanks

That's a good point. Perhaps I should try another install. What I found with RSS was that I was having trouble controlling the direction with the toggle switch (or whatever it's called). For example, I could only move forward and never back.
I'll try another install just to make sure. I did do a backup restore so perhaps that is the source of the problems.
BTW, is there some reason (cost? technical?) that prevents the radio streaming of windows format?
Thanks again.

Re: Says .bin file, downloads .php What do I do?!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a file in Windows, you have the option of changing the name of the file. So you would take a file that is called thisisatest.php, for example, and rename it to thisisatest.bin.
Alternately, you could take a file and save it as any name you like.
These are basic Windows functions.
Once you have renamed the file to somethingorother.bin, you could proceed with the installation instructions.

I updated to OS2008 but have found that the RSS readers doesn't work as well and web pages are constantly getting hung up. Also the N800 still doesn't stream windows format (the three things I use this for). I'd like to wait until OS2008 works out some bugs -- it does look great though.
Can I put the old OS on using the updating software that came with the N800?
Thanks
