I'm not enjoying Diablo. Before Diablo, with OS2008, I never had problems with basic email and web. Now the email crashes twice a day, some emails are blank or automatically deleted, and the web browser has crashed twice.
The only thing I can reproduce is the blank email. Maybe I should look up the Modest bug reporting system. Luckily I setup my tablet as a redundant email client. I'd be really sad if the N800 was my only email recipient.
I'm almost ready to replace Modest with another email client. Hopefully, the replacement will work with the flashing LED.
If Firmware Flashing is no longer required, does that mean the updates will be through the application manager? I keep checking daily hoping for a fix or two.

It should be noted that the repository at http://modest.garage.maemo.org/ is still up, the devs are, apparently, planning on putting together development packages for Diablo (outside of SSU updates). Not sure of any timeframe, but keep your eyes open.

If history is any indication almost always after major new release a "service pack release" has been released quite fast... maybe a month?

Is the new update available for the n800?The reason i`m asking is i`ve updated ok to the other os and when i go to update to this one,the updater says searching,then says can`t find the device.Even though the usb logo is in the right had corner of the screen.My n800 has never been dropped and i mainly use it for the internet.This is the first mayor problem i`ve had with it since i bought it.Any advice please?

Is Diablo available for the N800? The reason I'm asking is I'd previously updated successfully to OS2008 (Chinook) but when I go to update to Diablo, the Nokia Internet Tablet Software Update Wizard says "Status: Device not found. Searching...", then says "Status: Device not found. If USB logo is not displayed within 5 seconds of switching on the device: Release the swap key. Switch off the device. Try again."Now I've highlighted all the guesswork here; I could be wrong in any of those, but if those are correct, then it's acting exactly the same as mine with no device connected.
Even though the USB logo is in the right hand corner of the screen. My N800 has never been dropped and I mainly use it for the internet. This is the first major problem I've had with it since I bought it. Any advice please?
I'd check that you can access the SD cards in Windows Explorer (with the N800 booted normally, but without disturbing the USB connections), and if that fails too, check all the USB cables, any hubs, try a different port on the root hub, etc.
If those guesses don't correspond to what you're seeing, then I guess you'll have to be more specific.

I tried the above with no luck except that i can access the memory cards.I checked in device manager and it had a yellow dot with a black question mark inside.I tried to update the driver(nokia bb5 adl loader usb phone parent) and it said the name is already in use as either a service name or service display name.Any ideas what that means?

Well, mine displays (when started in flash mode with the "swap" key) as a "Nokia BB5 ADL Loader USB Phone Parent", with one child, which was at first as you describe, but in a few seconds changed to "Nokia BB5 ADL Loader USB Generic" with the same logo as the parent; afterwards, I started the Update Wizard, which sees it immediately.
So it looks like your driver issue is the problem, but I don't know anything of how to resolve it. My recommendation would be to use a Linux liveCD (if necessary) and use flasher-3.0, if you can't readily resolve the driver issue.

Can anyone tell me if they fixed the issue with the intermittent double characters when using the stylus on-screen keyboard? That was driving me nuts and pretty much was the reason that I relegated my N800 to bathroom duty in favor of my iPhone. That and the annoying scrolling/panning behavior in the browser, but it sounds like they've worked on the scrolling/panning issues in MicroB.
EDIT:
Batterylife is still worse than under os2007.
Allthough the stylus input is fine now, this time it's the n800 buttons that 'hang' (you press it only once, but the os acts as if you keep the button pressed).
I am not sure if I am going back to os2007, because I would miss gpxview.
