Yeah, - I was wondering the same. I guess late adoption can be a problem at times too.

...with support dropped by nokia, and the development of alternatives hindered by your failing unit, I don't see a future for the n800.
Ah, I wouldn't spell that much doom for it - we do have a bunch of people helping out , N8x0 emulators easily adaptable to Mer, VM images and friggen sharks eating you if your bootmenu version ate the installation.

I just realized that this N800 is excellent for finding applications that does too many screen updates, as the image is stable in those instances..


Oh, well, I learnt my lesson: don't buy brands that overcharge you for being in Europe and drop product support in less than a year.
Only reason I bought from US was the fact the people in .dk selling it tried to fraud me, heh. Price wasn't that bad in EU (all things considered)

Well, I wouldn't say that 400€ was a good price (at the time I got it from the USA at 250 shipped, and keep in mind that it was even cheaper outside of ebay).
Officially the n810 is still 400€ here......

I just started the exact same problem with the screen vibrating and scrolling. Is there a solution to this? My N800 is a couple of months over a year old.

The only known solution is to replace the screen. Maybe a nokia service center could perform a less expensive repair but I doubt it (labour isn't cheap).
