Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
I've only just moved my N810 from Chinook to Diablo. The PC based software update wizard automatically offered the latest firmware, which seems to have the latest SSU already as part of the image. ...

Re: Possible BOINGO!
http://mobile.boingo.com/download/client.php?client=n810 would seem to have a client available for download, however, there is at least one reference to OS2008, which may be a pre-requisite.

There's a version of Maemo Plazer that you can download into the SDK_X86 emulator which has been broken for months :(

Re: UK: N770 + GPS for £139
Although the software will work on the N800, you won't have the N800 car holder, which appears impossible to purchase unless with the N800 Navicore Navigation Kit.
