Ok, I'm kind of new to the bug reporting thing and want to point out that the web browser crashes a lot. Hopefully this is the right thread to even bring this up.
Try this and see if you get the same problem:
1) Open a new browser
2) Click on the "maemo" link under the Google search text box
3) Click on "Downloads"
On mine, it crashes soon after. Is anyone else getting this problem and if so, how do we submit it?
i have confirmed that the bluetooth headset works now but only mono, i think someone did mention this. It worked well with gizmo from what my wife said. i was also able to answer the call with the headset. tested with plantronic 320 and motorola ht820
I am ssh'd into my N800/OS08 and was manually doing apt-get update (faster, IMHO) and noticed some libraries being held back:
libsofia-sip-ua-glib3
libsofia-sip-ua
Hmmm. Now, up until now, I had been one of the ones unable to install Skype. Anyway, I typed 'apt-get install libsofia-sip-ua-glib3 libsofia-sip-ua' and a warning appeard that the file 'osso-software-version' would be removed. I aborted the install, then ran a 'dpkg -l|grep osso-software-version. Here is the description:
Nokia-N800-44-4:~# dpkg -l|grep osso-software-version
ii osso-software-version 1.2007.44-4 Placeholder to support lock-down
Hmmm. So, I reran the install, allowed osso-software-version to be removed. Then, on a whim, I did an apt-get install of skype, and it worked!
Nokia-N800-44-4:~# apt-get install skype

I dunno if that is the new version number. This may be a false alarm. But it might be the trick.
Anyone with more knowledge about this feel free to correct me.
UPDATE: Crud. I'll correct myself. Running the Application Manager shows Skype still there, and it STILL won't install. (I didn't use it, anyway, but wanted to "crack the nut".
Argh the official firmware doesn't overclock N800's CPU. N810's firmware gives ~388 bogomips and official one gives ~320.
Open X terminal and type: cat /proc/cpuinfo
N800's official OS2008 betafirmware feels sometimes little bit slower.
My N800 running OS2008/N800(-18) gives
Code:
BogoMIPS : 320.37
So it appears my device boots with a 320Mhz clock but otherwise scales quite nicely once booted. I guess your device scaled up to 400Mhz when booting OS2008/N810 (on N800) thus giving you a higher Bogomip figure, and your device doesn't need to scale when booting OS2008/N800 (installed software difference, maybe?)
if nokia/maemo only heard of this thing called bittorrent...
We know bittorrent. And you know that Nokia asks users to identify their devices and accept an EULA before downloading. Now, how you would combine both?
Sorry for the download speed problems and thank you to those offering alternative solutions.
We are paying some money for good bandwidth and global caching. We will look today to the download statistics and talk to the service providers to see what was/is going on.

Um... Accept the EULA and then download the .torrent file, perhaps?
