Hello there from Adam in NYC.
Shipping my Nokia 800 back to the factory.
It is just booting for 3 seconds then turning off. Looks like maybe I am one of the first to send it back.

I'm not sure why Nokia doesn't just pull it to avoid these issues

Three reasons:
1) The upgrade is for Maemo ARM targets in Scratchbox.
2) The repository in question isn't *designed* for the N800, just the scratchbox SDK - it's a side effect that most packages work on the device itself
3) Red pill mode isn't for end users. If you follow maemo-developers, you'll know not to accept an upgrade in red pill mode. If you've got red pill mode enabled and you don't follow maemo-developers a lot of problems will result.

Shipping my Nokia 800 back to the factory.
It is just booting for 3 seconds then turning off. Looks like maybe I am one of the first to send it back. To those in the USA, the number for repair is here: http://www.nokiausa.com/support/repa...,00.html#Step1
and they are very helpful. In the US, repairs go back to to a repair depot in Huntsville Alabama.
One point to ponder: my N800 was made in Korea, if that helps. I had 4 Gig of SD in it. Noope, no mods, just using it with xterm.
Another point is that when it died, I could not get it to go into the control panel /Bluetooth to find my BT keyboard. Afterwards, I rebooted and it is doing this quick reboot then die behavior. I reflashed but no go with this. The tablet wont even recharge the battery.
It would be nice if there was a way to do a wipe of all the FLASH so you can get a superclean wipe.
Anyway, the tech support did not even know they moved the sticker from out under the battery. Now they know.
Oh well.
