Unhappy Frustrating Upgrade!!!

Ok - I know it won't really help but I just need to vent...

1) Find it really irritating that I was sold a device running what was apparently a beta version of the OS to begin with.

2) When...

Re: keyboard question

Nope. No tab but you can use the d pad to move between fields. One really glaring omission is the pipe sign (|). You can get it - two screens deep into the alternate character menu. Makes shell...

Re: Setting up parental controls on the tablet

squid and squidguard work quite well - we used them at work for years. Been a while now. The other more simple option is to install a hosts file that redirects the nasty stuff to localhost. ...

Re: Adblock Plus for MicroB released!

Re: Weird mix of kde by ssh and maemo desktop

COOL! Tried it across my VPN from home this weekend. Real slow like you thought - but usable if you are patient.

Re: PCAnywhere doable on the N810?

Doubtable as PCA is a windows application. VNC on the other hand was one of my most used apps on my 770. I'm hoping someone with better skills than I takes an interest in porting it to '08. PLEASE...

Re: Penny Pincher Screen Protector

Don't use the thumb keyboard at all on my 810 since there is a real keyboard but - no reason it wouldn't work. I notice no degradation in screen sensitivity with the film in place. For example I...

Re: Will bluetooth headset be supported by OS2008 for n800

I paired my Motorolla BT headphones to my 810 with no problem. Streamed music and all system sounds (including key clicks) just fine - however it was mono only. Have not tested my other two headsets...
