I want to buy used Nokia N810. In my country, this nokia was not selled officialy. I have little choice. I find one annoucement, but this nokia has Symbian installed. So I ask, if it is possible to install OS 20080 on Nokia N810 which had allready installed symbian. And if it is possible, how i can do this. Can i use flasher ? Thank you for answer. Sorry for my English, I am from Slovakia.(EU).

I have never heard of Symbian being installed on an N810 before. Are you sure about this?

hi martin, you can definitely install os2008 (diablo) by flashing, if your device is not defective in some way. easiest would be with a usb connection to a windows pc, imo. check the wiki. the n810 is an amazing device, you won't regret getting it (i hope).

If it's really an N810, flashing with OS 2008 poses no problem, regardless of what is currently installed, so long as there is nothing wrong with the N810's hardware. However, as fnordianslip implied, there is no such thing as an N810 running Symbian. So something is strange.

There were some knock-off n810's being sold - though with a knock-off incompatible OS that looked like symbian (it was probably MTK). Which country did you get the device from?
