Hey guys didnt someone say wasn't sure who it was but isnt nokia or whoever suppose to be coming out with updates fixing the video and stuff cause i remember someone saying they were in a few weeks and its been a month now. Just seeing if anyone has any new news because i would like to start watching some youtube and putting some movies on without going through a whole bunch of stuff that people have already been doing with downloading new apps and converting and all that junk...just nice and simple or am i just dreaming?

Preparing a software update for an entire system (and not just a single program) is a _major_ operation, with planning and testing*N and QA and documentation and more. And it is important to do all of that, or you'll get the whole thing blown up in your face. It's difficult to see this if you're not in the business yourself, but trust me - "a few weeks" in SW speak simply means "less than many months". Certainly the term (speaking generally here) is closer to 12-20 weeks than 2 weeks. Me, I just sit back and let the whole upgrade come as a sudden happy surprise, when it arrives..

The best thing we can do is use our tablets and provide feedback on their perforamce. Believe it or not they actually read our comments.

If they read this forum then why do Nokia refuse to repair the cracked plastic on my N770 under warranty? (Rhetorical question really...)

The updates in the next firmware have been discussed in at least two threads about a month ago... try searching for roadmap or simply jaaksi.

Someone should sticky the "roadmap" thread in the Newbie forum... Roger/Reggie?

EDIT: Here it is.

Well, personally I'm waiting for two things to happen before I consider buying the N800.

Firstly, Skype must be released and must work well
Secondly, but not a show stopper, HDSD support in the kernel

Have you tried GizmoProject?

In many ways I think the performance is actually better than Skype. I have been making calls while riding the tram in downtown Helsinki over 3G. On its best day, Skype could not manage this. Granted I am using my N800 and GizmoProject vs. using Skype on a MBP C2D. Regardless, Gizmo-P could manage the call (all international) without any drops in bandwidth or performance as opposed to me trying to use Skype on the same network with the same phone. If you mainly plan to call or just type the you might want to give Gizmo-P a try.
