Lolz ... first you "leak" the os, and then you try to minimize damage by claiming that this .bin brics your device.

I am not buying

I don't get it. Did 'I' leak the OS?

My only intention here is to tell and warn you guys what Nokia did tell the three of us when we first got our N810's.

Go update if you want to.

I flashed mine and everything seems fine. Still testing all the new features. At the moment I am downloading maps for Canada through the maps application. Anyone know if it can function with an external bluetooth GPS?

Yes. It works.

I'll second that it works. I have it working with my i-Blue.

Mine always warmed with 2007OS - especially when I streamed radio.

Anyone experience any bluetooth connection drops with GPS? Seems to disconnect after a few minutes. I cant tell if this happens on purpose when you idle in one location for awhile or if its a bug.

what exactly does it do?
shows location on the map, but does not give driving directions?
thanks

I noticed the same thing. My N800 has always been cool to the touch (well, for the three or so weeks I've had it). After putting on 2008 was the first time the rounded lump at the top has ever felt warm. (not hot, just warm, but enough to make me think of a laptop, when I never had noticed any heat before).

I am assuming it is because either a) it is downloading big maps and staying on the whole time, or b) because the processor speed has been bumped up, or c) both of the preceding.

But despite my initial concern, for the last 8 hours it has been cranking through and actually cooled back down. It is still running 2008 and still running a few different processes, and still downloading big maps, but it isn't hot anymore. (it *had* been doing these things in my pocket earlier in the night, as opposed to on a desk now).

But either way, I know I won't get complaints from my 8 year old like he does when he uses the macbook and it burns his lap it is so hot!

I second Reggie: this is still a beta firmware even if slightly newer than the one he has on his review tablet.
So let's all be careful. If there's a bug in the USB handling (either 1.1 or 2.0, I don't care), let's just don't use it for the time being (after all, it'll be for a few days) and let's stick with a card reader or WiFi or Bluetooth.

I also want to point out to Jupex that it was not Reggie's fault, the leakage. Not even Thoughtfix's one.
Some of us were able to get it without even enter the MAC address and many people got the MAC address from other sources rather than only the Thoughtfix's dmesg output.

Speaking about the GPS (in previous threads), I used it yesterday with my cheap BT GPS and it worked flawlessly, but it was really useless.
It only tells that you are somewhere in a town.
It does not even tell you in WHICH road you are!
It just shows you the map with the roads (and NO NAME) and the POIS (just the icons of course).

As it is, it is useless.
Could someone prove me wrong ?
