More Detailed N810 Thoughts

Posted on April 28, 2008 by James

I took my N810 for a walk to test its GPS capabilities. It’s been raining quite hard and I was hoping the river would be up and interesting to look at. Unfortunately the river was low, but my N810 worked very well. Having a built in GPS is very useful.

I have Maemo-Mapper installed, and because it was raining I sealed my N810 inside an Ortleib map… Continue reading

Nokia N810 Ordering

Posted on April 26, 2008 by James

I’ve ordered my new, shiny N810. Sure it’s cost me £289 quid, which is quite a lot for a portable web browser doodad, but I’ve sold my N800 to my cousin for £100, making it £189. And where did I order this marvel of the modern age from?

Nokia N800, Canola and OGG Vorbis

Posted on April 10, 2008 by James

I managed to stop my Nokia N800 from correctly booting the other day. I had a bit of a “moment” in the terminal and typed “apt-get upgrade” which seemed to go OK – until I rebooted. Then my N800 got stuck in a loop and refused to boot up.

Fortunately I was able to re-run the firmware flasher and re-install OS2008 (getting an upgrade in the process). After that… Continue reading
