Re: How to Reflash your N800

SDHC cards were supported under the later versions of OS2007 and OS2008 (Diablo).

I recommend that you flash to the latest version of Diablo, just to be sure that you have SDHC support.

Re: N800 & gps

I use an N800 and MaemoMapper, combined with the GPS radio on an E71 cell phone. That combination allows me to avoid buying a dedicated GPS unit, carrying around yet another device.

Re: N800 upgrading problems

I've never used the Windows flasher, so can't tell what stage you're having issues with. It sounds like you are having trouble getting the N800 into update mode.

Re: Theory 1: only 30% of the cost of the N900 is "real" cost

Just keep in mind that the price of a product is a function of market forces, and that it doesn't depend on costs.

Costs matter when contemplating profitability.

Re: How to buy an N900 on Canada?

Re: Save Diablo! (a rant and request)

I think the way forward is Mer, and seeing whether Mer can be shaped to meet the needs of n8x0 users.

If the community continues Diablo, that is only one part of a healthy system. Beyond using up...

Re: Lots of n900 talk, but what of n810?

The future for the N8x0 devices is community support via Mer. There may be some community bug-fixes for Diablo too, but I think the more promising direction is Mer.
