Fortunately, the first thing I did was reflashing. Read somewhere to do flashing first before any other configuration or installation.

Actually, when I bought the N800, I already had done some reading. So I was not too surprised about the "maintanance" I had to do when it came.
The first day I was reading across the internet, tried this and that, installed this and that SW. Fortunately, the first thing I did was reflashing. Read somewhere to do flashing first before any other configuration or installation.
While this was all fun to me, and part of the first N800 experience, I thought that for a real newbie without much knowledges, this gadget would certainly not be the right thing to buy. Just imagine, there was no handbook, just a paper how to insert the battery and how to connect to internet.
So would I recommend the N800 to my computer illiterate neighbour? Certainly not.
Would I recommend it to my hacker friends? Certainly yes!

(this might seem slightly off-topic but stay with me).
I bought a guitar a little while ago, and I accessorized it with a nice carrying case. I tried it out in the shop and it seemed fine, the salesman demonstrated it. However, when I got home, I couldn't make it work properly, instead of nice music all I got was discordant sounds, no music at all! There were virtually no instructions with it, apart from general care... I've played with it for a few hours and still no luck.
Never having owned a guitar before, I asked a friend and he says I should buy a book about learning to play, and would probably need to take expensive lessons if I want to become any good at it.
Well, I was pretty annoyed, I thought the price of the guitar was all inclusive! I went back to the shop, had to argue with the salesman and eventually got a refund - he treated me like an idiot!
~~ just change "guitar" to "computer" and this is a common theme across the world, change it to "nokia n800" and you get the original post.
End of report.
The Windows problems I believe were purported by the original poster and not as retorts.
I maintain that the dude has other issues that pre-existed.
BTW...
