Re: Best Handheld for playing back high res/bitrate videos?

Get a Archos 5 IMT. I also had a N800 (prior to the unit being stolen) and was also grossly disgusted with the video playback performance. I recently picked up a Archos 5 120 Gig IMT and the video...

Re: A Sad N800 "Bus" story.

I have to admit, for the price, the HP Pavilion tx2110us is a brilliant machine and I saw someone at 2nd cup the other day with one. Very very nice looking unit however given that I paid 508 taxes...

Took a bus on Monday. (Victoria Day here in Canada).
Comfortable ride.
Not a long ride.
Got off the bus at the stop just 50 yards from my home.
Walked and whistled.
Arrived home and was hungry....

Re: N800 won't connect to D-Link DIR-655 Wireless Router

It's odd because I use MAC filtering on my DIR-655 (rev. 1.11) with my N800 and it works great. I manually add devices to my inside network via MAC filtering all the time and it works flawlessly. ...
