Just got the N800 - I don't know if it is me, but I can only hear from the left side of the headphone. No stereo.. I was wondering if anyone had the same problem.. I connected another set of headphones and got the same problem.

Uh oh. Sounds like an exchange is in order. I don't have that issue, headphones work as expected.

BTW, Is your left earbud's cable much shorter than the right??

I experienced poor sound in the left side of my 770, so I'm not too surprised. Maybe it's a common component at fault.

the funny thing is that I returned a N800 because the headphones did not work and ultimately the system would not turn on.. I got this one and the headphones work fine but only for the left side.

Sorry you've had that experience. I *am* surprised by what you say now. The odds against 1 user getting 2 devices having that same problem have to be high. I hope third time's a charm. Maybe you should have in-store customer service check it before you leave.

Oh, and for systems not turning on: remove the battery, wait several seconds, replace the battery and try again.

Yeah, I've had to do that once already.....

Have you pushed the headphone jack all the way into the socket - it may need a firm push.

About as high as when I got 2 770's within 2 weeks both with wsod! :rolleyes: Well at least in this case it was user error....damn users...:D
