Re: N800 Durability Report

I dropped mine also. The face plate some part ways off and the D-pad poped out.

But it snapped back together Ok.

Re: Losing tethering connection

Great idea, except the V3xx isn't Windows & doesn't support PAN?

I have the same phone/hardware/carrier and occasionally lose the connection to the phone, but not so often as to be annoying. Also...

Re: Did Anyon elses N800 not handle the DST switch overnight?

Intersting. My OS2008 N800 did not switch until I opened & closed the clock application.

Re: Doom2 for lxdoom

So far, so good.

I figured out how to re-map the shift key so I can sprint. That seems to be essential to getting through some of the levels.

Pretty cool!

Re: N800 won't connect to D-Link DIR-655 Wireless Router

Not any more.... ;)

You've changed 'Advanced' settings on a network device, resolved a problem and didn't create any new problems. I'd say you've graduated wireless newbie school. :)

Re: Hp 2133 Umpc

I'm watching for a product like that. Something 'half-way between' a regular laptop and an N800.

Re: N810 at Best Buy/New Color

No customer reviews?

How about a few N810 owners write up some glowing reviews & get rid of the 'Be the first to write a review!' thing.

Re: at&t users... which plan?

Although tethering is technically possible with the MediaMax plans & works fine, it is a clear and unambiguous violation of your contract with ATT. So I'd suggest that you may want to consider that...

Re: What phone has the fastest bluetooth connection speed?

Back on topic -

N800 OS2008 -> Bluetooth -> RAZR V3xx (3g) -> http://dslreports.com/mspeed = 600-800kbps with a 1 meg file size.

That's more than fast enough.

Edit: Of course I'd NEVER...

Re: How old are you?

Let me think-- punched paper tape, punch cards, DG Nova, VAX 11-780, 8" floppies, USCD P-System, DOS 1.0, Windows 1.0, GEM, Amiga, OS/2, ArcNet...............

Getting close to the big five-oh.

Re: Data Usage Stats using Bluetooth Cell ...?

You'll use up your 5MB pretty quickly. RSS and mail aren't too bad, but news sites tend to use quite a bit of bandwidth. Figure 4-5 pages per MB.

Re: 802.11n compatibility

I have the same problem with a Dlink AP. As soon as I enable N, the N800 goes blind.

I did discover that if I moved 50ft away from the AP I could connect, but if I was near the AP I could't.
