Fabulous.
Moral of the story here for any one else coming new to maemo n8x0.
FOLLOW the walkthroughs.
To what ever degree ...
fully.
partially....even...for those not interested or feel that it is all too much...
But follow the walkthroughs.

Whatever the issue is...
readi and apply the walkthroughs will solve new people's problems.
More advanced specific "in-app" issues are a different matter and are very localized and / or advanced....In which case help may be needed.
Otherwise...
There are the walkthroughs AND video walkthrough tutorial.
It doesn't get easier.
The increased ability and functionality from doing them is worth it.
I spent a great deal of time making the entirety of learning... "new person oriented"... friendly.
So a person wandering in to maemo talk for the 1st time ever...could do it.
No special learning or skill needed.

Follow the walkthroughs people.
The walkthroughs were done to avoid confusion and issues for new people...
in fact most known and unknown device issues are solved for new people by properly following the walkthroughs...

They are so easy, thorough and comprehensive...
from start to finish...
that...
if help is needed...
help should pertain to physical device issues..(ports, batteries, etc)...
or something beyond the basics of what is covered in the walkthroughs...

So all new n8x0 people ..
do the walkthroughs 1st.

If there is a problem in understanding any part of the walkthroughs..
I can help in the clarity of the instructions...

Then when devices are set up properly...
if there are still issues...
ask me or another for help..
