Ok now that you are in the right forum....concerning the n800 I suggest looky-looing around here....as well the os2008 subforum concerning the diablo operating system....
The flasher is a little dicey on win 7 64 I suggest using the nokia software updater program...setting compatibility for say xp or at least give it admin rights. Works like a charm every time.
charge your battery full first. shut it off...start up the updater...use the usb-micro connector ...plug it in...hold down the home key on the face of your n800...i's the little house simultaneously power on the nokia..keep holding that home button while doing so..it'll power on and a usb icon will appear on the nokia n800 screen upper right corner..you can let go the home button and set it down and let your comp. find the new device....updater won't find nokia site...then asks for you to open file on your computer...open file containing Diablo rx-34 I mentioned on skeiron link...flash...baby...flash.... B) then once it's done ...you've only just begun...there is a mountain of things you can do with this that so many devices can't...to this day do. Keep me posted....I come traipsin' through here all the time...so me or someone else will be around to give you a hand...Nokia's gone ....gave us (the community) maemo before the boat sank....no 24/7 support here man ..we are all fellow users...we help how we can.....fix probs...write new stuff...blahblah you get the idea...no corporate abandonment here...we maintain it..update it ...backport programs from further up the device line...alot of n900 stuff got backported to the n800/810.....welcome to Maemo
to the way the world should be behaving ..
As far as what the device can do...mah-gawd ! oh yeah stream from your pc...run a handsome number of operating systems...ample number of games...play fine video..if you are more familiar with winamp...there is a port of that for n800 called xmms ...full equalizer and cool ***** effects...crap man...skype ..gtalk...VIDEO gtalk...pen testing...hehe
ach the list goes on and on..It is a fab device....esp if you are new to linux...also.it's a good starter device for understanding the n900 and the up and coming neo900. I can't think of a better device...only wish the n900/neo900 had the same size screen real estate as the n800/810
..right now...it's late here....I'm hittin' the snort-fort man
I'll check in sometime tomorrow afternoon/evening...see how you are doing ...you'll have fun with it...just read....read ...read...can't go wrong with it if you read...take your time and enjoy .

Update: HMMMM just realized it may be a bit more challenging nowadays to find the update wizard...here is a link for a download...it is easier than trying to mail you a copy at this hour...

update: dead link

should work no probs...save a copy ...or better ....copies...of the exe and zip or rar it for storage..files and programs do get lost or corrupted....just in case eh?
