Nokia gave me 240$ for mine, I took it and ran. I am now able to boot from flash or either slot. I have three images setup and all the main applications I use work. A couple of the things I use are not working, mweather kills your N800, Serial Keyboard support not available yet, but the experience is much better than 770. I owned 770 for 11 months, and I loved it. My 770 was in for repair for 5 weeks and they had no return time in site. At the same time the N800 was born, so I took the 240$ they offered me. It cost me 160$ +tax to upgrade. Well worth it, although I already toasted one, and had it replaced. Compusa offers a protection plan for 60$, I think I am going to go back and add it, its well worth it.
Well I had installed the bluetooth plugin. I did not figure it would work, and it did not. I rebooted and got a reboot loop. I then reflashed and it would no longer power on, it tried to, but it would not. I tried reflashing, but it did not work.
I think the problem was that it was in the reboot loop when I reflashed it the first time. I am assuming if I had pulled the battery and then reflashed it might have worked. No positive though?
I HATE NOKIA SUPPORT!!!! Even Worse the "ERT" Executive Resolution Team. I did not have a WSOD, so this may be different, but they would not even talk to me until 30 days after they recieved it. Then said take 240$ or wait.
Thats the short version, no amount of begging pleading whining or screaming seemed to make any difference.
The absolute worst case of customer service I have ever recieved, if I had other options, I may not have purchased an N800, but all the UMPC's are like 1000$.
I just sent mine in yesterday - it wasn't connecting the computer to the memory card via USB - and if they offer me cash I am going to get the n800. If they fix it I'll be happy too - the 770 is great little computer. Surprisingly though I am not feeling any withdrawal symptoms...
... however, I somehow got the impression that Nokia UK are not that bad...
