Great! Glad you got it running.

Typing on it is a bit "different" for me. I can't do my usual 120wpm and
still have to think about the Fn shifting to get numbers and characters.

On the N800 Linux tablet, the two right-angle-symbol keys showed up as
page-up and page-down, which comes in handy. The other sellphone key
doesn't seem to impress the N800 to do anything, good or bad.

I'm using the keyboard and N800 over free wifi from my little breakfast
restaurant as I type this. rdesktop in the N800 is hooked to Remote
Desktop on the main WinXP machine at home, over the net. This message
header will show it came from Xnews on usenetserver from my house, but by
remote control. The keyboard is required to use it because rdesktop must
disable all local virtual keyboards to display the WinXP screen. The only
other way to enter text would be to boot the virtual keyboard of WinXP on
the home desktop and use that for text entry, which really sucks over the
long path. The BT Nokia keyboard resolves the problem and I can get some
of my typing speed returned.

I'm SURE it beats those stupid texting schemes of the sellphones, which are
just hideous to use, even for just entering a name into the phone book....

Best of luck to you with your new toy. If anyone asks what you're doing,
tell them you have Microsoft Office Suite installed into the tiny phone and
are typing up a proposal for a client. Someone will always stop to watch
the tablet in action. Nokia owes me bigtime for all the free advertising
and advise. I must have sold 50 N800 tablets in the past 6 months.
