Re: N800 is piece of crap
 

I understand what you say, sometimes my N800 makes me crazy too, but I LOVE it. I understand its limitations and the iT understand mines. :D

What I realized after using the tablet everyday for almost the year is that the Flash experience sucks, specially with the MicroB browser. Heavy use of this component in some sites make the iT unstable and ready to crash the browser with 100% of CPU usage.

But hey! You won't find any better browser experience for this size and this price tag on the market.

And the connection dropping issue is not ok. Actually, that part of the tablet is very stable. Why don't you try the OS2008 to see what happens?

I wish people would just explain their problems and ask their questions without being jerks about it. It really makes me feel like NOT getting involved. I'm going to follow that instinct.

Re: N800 is piece of crap
 

I've had my N800 for almost a year, and I've never seen the error message
"internal error, application web closed"

That makes me think that the op has done something to contribute to the delinquency...

Come to think of it, the op doesn't even mention os2008. Maybe he doesn't know about it, and has just dropped in to devastate us all with his trenchant criticism. Or maybe he's one of those who doesn't know how to reflash his N800, which is what I'd do if I had inexplicable problems that other N800 users don't have.

Re: N800 is piece of crap
 

Actually, the 'internal error' error used to be quite common. So I think the advice to flash to the latest fw without restoring from backup is spot on.

And for what the tone of his post is concerned; a device that doesn't do what you might expect can drive you nuts.

@cyberghost: if you want help here, please ease up.

Re: N800 is piece of crap
 

i just got my n800 and since im a hacking addict i have done unspeakable with my device, i have stressed it boyond imagination (:)exageration) and i have tested its capabilities, and it only crashed the browser once but no message, the only problem i see with it is the app manager can't install everything which makes no sense but it works eventually.

as for wireless- my bedroom is ~100ft away from the router and there are 3 walls(1cement2pladour*)in between. My laptop get a max of "low" or 2 bars----my n800 gets all, perfect connection, fast and reliable.

Man where did u buy yours???? it might be deffective? or did u gt so dumb u actually killed it?:rolleyes:

Re: N800 is piece of crap
 

I love my N800 (OS 2008 Beta) only bugs are a few crashes and GPS (Bluetooth ext) takes 3 hours every time to locate! Can't wait of rthe OS 2008 full version :) I am getting my sone one for Christmas. Never had any WiFi disconnect!? totally stable that way.

Re: N800 is piece of crap
 

I love my N800, but I gotta say:
- a Linux computer ought not crash. My whole machine goes down about once a week, and apps are always crashing. The machine going down looks like dud drivers. Sure hope OS 2008 fixes that;
- the application manager is *awful*. When a repo is down, it ought to just give me a message and skip it, not just *stop there*. And the message ought to offer me the option of turning off the repo right there, not make me play "hunt the repo" based on the error message
- there are numerous ways in which the Nokia engineers clearly haven't really got the whole "human factors" or "user friendly" thing. eg the BT icon that disappears when you turn BT off, which I understand is *still* not fixed in 2008. Or the tortuous path to change something like the proxy settings (which are, even then, set "per connection" with no global setting available).

I could go on. It's a great device, nothing like it. But Nokia isn't even on the same planet as Apple when it comes to spit and polish. Sure, who is? But they're not close to, say, Ubuntu, either.

Perhaps the tablet market is small enough that Nokia can't put the resources into it that it would need to fix this stuff, and I should be grateful that we have the N800 at all. I certainly am grateful, and I suspect that this is likely the explanation.

Nice thread ... but let's just focus on the discount codes availability :D

mwahaha salt on the wound

Re: N800 is piece of crap
 

The only thing that crashes often on mine is Skype. I'm running the latest OS2007 version, with maybe a dozen add-on apps that I use moderately frequently.
