I take back what I said about Rhapsody working well. At first it was great, now I can't view the tracks under a specific artist in my library. I get "Content not available." Also, the cover and track information is blank more often, and you must manually replay the track (sometimes several times) it order for it to show. I only care, because you cannot add a track to your library without the song information showing.

Moreover, they shouldn't have to be.

My only thoughts are that when OS2008 is finally released that we will be able to flash our N800's using Andrew Fleggs GUI flasher instead of Flasher-2.0.macosx. I tried flashing the bootlegged OS2008 using Fleggs flasher... didn't work. The tried Nokia's recommended method using Flasher-2.0.macosx and after 2 hours of flashing the kernel it went no further saying an error occurred.
BTW... the 770Flasher flashes the OS's in under 2 minutes on my system from start to finish. And thats for the 770's and the N800's... all OS's to date (other than OS2008).
Hopefully Andrew will come to our rescue and create another outstanding GUI flasher for us Mac users.

My one and BIG gripe is that the web browser crashes on almost every site, crap, in my book. I can't even come here via my N800, the web browser will crash once i type it in.
Yes, it's unfinished, but i shudder to think .
On the plus side, my WiFi works a million times better. Previously, i couldn't even locate my router in my house, i had to first tether to my phone via BT and then change connection. If i walked outside the house, forget it, once i stepped a few feet away, WiFi blindness !!
I'll keep OS 2008 on it a few while longer. Truth be told, i don't even use the N800 for anything meaningful, my Treo 700Wx does a whole lot more and better.

Also, I tried using a bluetooth headset. It paired fine, and said that audio was being routed to the headset, but I only heard silence from Gizmo and from the built in SIP client.

I like the OS. A bit faster (when disabling the scrolling RSS) the web browser mostly works better, though I did have a crash or two. The UI is much improved for finger navigation. They also finally made the lock function usable without a stylus. It was about time, thanks.
Overall, a great improvement. But....
I went back to OS 2007 this evening. Why? I've spent a lot of time customizing and installing apps. I use GPE and MediaStreamer almost every time I use my N800. I also use Gnumeric, the FM radio, and several other apps on a regular basis. None of them have been ported yet. Moreover, they shouldn't have to be.
Now that ITOS2008/the N810 are here, I hope Nokia has put down the framework that will stop us users from having to reflash and start over again everytime there's a new release. It's utter nonsense. This is Debian. You don't need to do this with Debian. Every other Debian-based device I've used, and I've used a lot, don't require this. We should be able to apt-get dist-upgrade to the new OS and there should be no excuses about this. The first two devices/three OSs were a good time to experiment, now they need to buckle down and work things like this and backwards compatibility out. I shouldn't lose gnumeric/GPE just because of the new OS. Nokia shouldn't be so quick to lose the goodwill of OSS developers by forcing them to start over again with each release. Users and developers alike have lost a lot of time and patience with this behaviour. I'd also hazard to guess that it's scared off a few potential commercial developers.
Okay, sorry for the rant. I think it needed to be said, though.
