Re: N900 on Amazon USA!

I wouldn't suggest it necessarily makes sense, but what you're seeing when you filter by "Prime Eligible" and getting non-Prime stuff is that the *lowest priced seller* isn't offering Prime...

Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!

Do you have a link to this? Invariably the really cheap standalone GPS/mapping units I've seen get really poor reviews... and they're typically made by some anonymous Chinese company that will...

Re: Amateur Radio and Internet Tablets: Lack of Software

Personally, I can think of a few ham radio applications where an N800 could work well, but realistically, I think you're better off with a small, cheap (<=$500) laptop -- even something like an Asus...

Re: avi conversion dilemma for my N800

Correct... and on a screen so small, there's no point in even asking it to do so.



Correct again. We have a widescreen TV, and finding a DVD that doesn't have bars at the top and bottom is...

Re: A Sprint phone that works with the N800

I'm coming in somewhat late to the thread, but wanted to mention that the N800 will work with a Sprint HTC Touch... so long as you're using PDA Net. (As most people are aware, all Windows Mobile 6...

Re: Antenna issue

Actually, it's somewhat clever. This approach is called "diversity reception," and depending on how it's implemented, is something as simple as selecting the antenna that has the stronger signal...

Re: Mini-comparison: N800 and OQO 02

Good comparison, thanks.

Personally, I still prefer a keyboardless device plus an optional full-sized Bluetooth board to a device with a tiny slide-out keyboard. I have the later on my cell...

Re: what N800 should have been ( N900 could be? )

Besides the slide-out keyboard, what benefit to do you see in this device over what the N800 has? (And personally I prefer the choice of not having a hardware keyboard in the N800, but I can...

Re: Getting Started with the N800

Greatly! As far as I'm aware, the major carriers you'd want to consider with high-speed Internet access are Sprint (with "EVDO," sometimes referred to as "PowerVision") and Verizon (with "Edge"). ...

Re: Getting Started with the N800

JJG,

I have a Sprint 6700 and the N800 can use it as a modem just fine. If you live in an area with EVDO it's surprisingly fast.

That being said, I'm on the "regular" (not the Phone-As-Modem)...

Re: Ethernet-2-usb adapter

You'll have to wait until someone implements the driver for it (as well completing the USB host stack for the N800).



Some so-called "travel" routers are not much bigger. See, e.g.,...

Re: Where's the best place to buy a new N800 online?

I'll second the Amazon.Com recommendation. Unless there's a significant discount (say, <$300), buying from eBay or another private seller isn't worth the risk if something breaks or if you just...

Re: USB flash drive on N800

And the moment, no -- connecting a USB flash drive requires the N800 to act as a USB host, and while it appears to have the hardware to support this, the software for it isn't there yet.

Re: US Navicore on the N800

I think the difference is that the in-car kits have speedometer inputs, so they're much better able to "dead reckon" your position based on knowing the delay the GPS receiver creates and your current...

Re: N800 too immature?
