Not sure why there is a problem in learning how to use something. Asking for help is also cool. Making threats is maybe not best way though.

You sir, need to visit the closest IKEA and get some proper Swedish Meatballs!

You paid for Nokia N900, the community support is entirely voluntary.

I'd like to order a real Italian pizza, Grappa, and Italian ice cream with espresso as dessert, please

Although the N800/N810 are capable of so much, you must admit they are not the best device to learn on. They require a lot of technical knowhow or learning of, and I can absolutely understand his feelings about it.

A friend of mine gave me an N800 back in 2007/2008 shortly after he bought it. He substituted it with an iphone. I used it for a few days and put it aside because I felt I couldn't do much with it. I picked it back up about 12-15 months ago, and found this wonderful community. I have come a long way since then and can honestly say I am now "Dependent" on my N800. I could not live without it. I use it for everything, but have spent countless hours tinkering with it to make it work the way I want it to and to learn how to use it.

I am however grateful for this, because the N800 has made it possible for me to be introduced to linux, and have since completely switched over to Linux for all my uses, including my desktop Operating system.

What I'm trying to say is that although this is an Exceptional device, I can fully understand people's frustrations with it because I experienced those same feelings in the past.

Now I really want some Swedish meatballs.

Point taken. But I think the idea that anything can just be "used" is a relative term.

The N800 was sold as an internet tablet, and you can't surly say that it was that difficult to fire up a browser, connect to your broadband and start surfing? It even has a google widget on the home screen.

Running graphics design apps on the other hand I would agree with you. But then I found it hard to use my first pair of chopsticks when my mum upgraded me from a china spoon. But the desire to eat made me learn.

As a n00b, I will defer to your greater knowledge but none of the posts before mine did much to answer the basic question of whether or not there was an easier OS that could be used on the N810. It may be that there isn't. If so, rather than laughing at the idea that someone would think that WinMo could be installed (or laughing at the idea that anyone would want to), maybe someone could have told him that.

you culd try to run iphon os throo buting from sd card might work ?????????
