Now I have an N900, and I am well pleased with it. I use it to keep all sort of stuff with me, including pdfs and graphics files.

There are some times when the small screen on the N900 is a hassle, and I would prefer to use the bigger screen on my N800.

Is there a simple way to connect the N900 to the N800 and then browse the N900's disks on the N800. Either using bluetooth or Wifi or cable? I could probably do it the WiFi way from scratch, but would appreciate hearing your experiences.

you could use ssh I suppose, or, more elaborate would be to use nfs and mount the N900 drive but I don't know if that is possible

Please ignore my question. I worked out how to do it, and it doesn't need any software installed, or much thought.

1 - pair the devices using bluetooth.
2 - Open the N800 file manager
3 - Click on the bluetooth device
4 - Bob's your uncle.

Happy.
