Easy, just make a call using the builtin SIP client!

I don't want to file a bug report for something that might be already fixed.. maybe someone here with a newer build, or an N810 could test?

Edit: bug reported, fix in next release!

There was some discussion on #maemo about this yesterday. Go ahead and make the report, it's good to have a tracking history for bugs that have already been fixed.

any news on overclocking? i'm very interested to make my n800 run at least at 500mhz

Due to hardware limitations, anything past 400MHz is impossible.

Anyway, undervolting would be interesting.
(Can the n800 control the VCore?)

what hardware limitations? from 333 -> 400 was ok but will it not work for 400 -> 466 ?
maybe if we can control the vcore we can get even 500mhz!

yes, it does, and it is already implemented in the very sw you are running on your device.
Get the source and check arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-n800-dvfs.c

Maybe. But it's not supported, neither by TI nor by Nokia.
Furthermore you are likely to end up in any of these cases:
- corrupting data and bricking the device to the point that it requires cold flashing
- frying the processor if the voltage regulator in your device happens to be one of those that can actually work over specs
- significantly shortening the life of the device due to damage to the silicon caused by the overvoltage.

OMAP2 is _not_ overclock safe and you should be aware of it.

Also, remember that changing 1 clock rate can have a domino effect and you will probably end up causing malfunction in some peripheral.
The SDRAM in particular depends on the L3 clock and unfortunately the L3 divisor that would make things simpler for overclocking the cores (divide by 5) is not provided.

What is minimum frequency the tablet is capable of?
I'd like it to run as slow as possible when not in use.
If it runs 10h with min of 160 maybe it will last a couple of days with 16Mhz!
I'm sure software can tag along at very low rate when idle, since it could get full speed ondemand for short periods.
To be honest that's what I imagined by arm's power saving and cpu scaling capabilities
