did you upgrade to the latest firmware? doing so could some a number of issues you're facing.

software crashes, stupid interface, no task bar, its SLOW, cant do youtube, no error correcting typing (im faster on T9 by a long shot), dissapearing bluetooth icon at the top, constant freezing. you know how this thing could be useful? have a charger port on it so it can charge my Nokia 6131 phone that is actually useful.
sorry, just venting. such a useless device. at least on windows i can crtl+alt+del when it decides to have a stupid moment.
And if you do ill buy it

I gave up trying and am in the process of offering mine for sale on this forum.
Got a Nokia N95 and could not be happier. Well, a bit if the GPS module was better, but other than that no complaints.

I love blanket condemnations. I guess all the people that the device works for are lying.

If I were going to buy one (I'm happy with the N800 I have!) I certainly wouldn't buy one from someone who chimes in with me too! after someone says his N800 is always freezing and crashing.

software crashes: out of memory, strange software installs, old firmware?
stupid interface: in some ways yes, if you muck around there is a way to run kde or rox...but then, some would consider that a stupid interface for a 4" screen.
no task bar: it is on the left below the menu icon, in addition to that there is a double arrow that brings up a task list, below the taskbar.
no "error correcting typing": lern 2 spele (train your autocomplete with properly spelled words..)
disappearing bluetooth icon at top: not having this problem, even in itos2007/770 (is anyone else?).
ctrl-alt-del: install the load applet, it has a task list that you can use to kill rampant processes.
as far as preferring a 6131 over a 770/800...thats just silly. two different animals for two different purposes.
just remember, these things have more in common with a linksys wrt54gs than a cell phone..

It's blooming annoying, not to mention one of the most stupid "design" decisions I've ever encountered. Especially as all the Nokia geniuses had to do was copy the community BT plugin that works as it should.

But wasn't the Bluetooth icon disappearing trick fixed (at least partially) in 3.2007.10-7, hence the question from luketoh in comment #2? It does sound like the OP is running old firmware.
I agree the BT icon behaviour is not ideal, but improved slightly with the latest firmware.

Yes, the bluetooth icon disappearing was fixed in the latest firmware. It hasn't disappeared once since, even across reboots/shutdowns.
