You guys have been a lot of help but I want to find a N800 User's Forum.
All I can find on Nokia's site is the Developer's Forums. It refers to a
User's Forum - but I must be blind!!
I have questions such as:
Is there a Widget which can turn off the display but nothing else?
And Many many more.
Thanks!!

Your questions have probably already been answered, so search for it.

I'll answer your question about the display.

Click the power button on top and a menu pops up.

Click the top selection and it locks the keys and touchscreen and turns
off the display immediately....leaving everything on the tablet running.

To re-energize the display, keys and touchscreen, click the power
button, again, then press the OK button (the one in the center of the 4
direction keys) and the tablet will tell you it's back on. No widget is
necessary...(c;

There is an applet to give you much more control of when the display
dims and the delay times before it self-locks. It's a simple user
install from:

http://maemo.org/downloads/product/O...immingoptions/

You can lengthen the autodimming and lockup settings to hours with this
simple-to-install applet. Just click the green download button. This
is for OS2007 on the N800, not the N810/OS2008, mind you.

I hate dimming screens I'm trying to read.....ESPECIALLY when the damned
thing is plugged into NUCLEAR POWER SUPPLIES!

Larry,
Thanks Yet Again!!
You need to come back 'Home' and I'll buy you many drinks! : )

I do all but sleep with my N800. You must make me a promise,
however......

I know it will be hard, it is for me, but try NOT to laugh at that guy
showing off his iPhoney SELLphone that doesn't run all this neat
software.

I call iPhone the "Mobile WebTV".....(c;

----------------------------------on another note

Watch:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QiFb...eature=related
which shows the VNC SERVER and VNC Viewer operating the N800 by REMOTE
CONTROL from a regular Windows PC. The server runs on the Linux tablet
and is accessed by the Client running on the PC from anywhere on the
net.

Pretty neat stuff comes out every day...(c;

-----------------------------------on yet another note

We have an iPhone "emulator" that was just bound to happen, sooner or
later.


--------------------------------- and more....

Go to this website and have a look around. Pay particular attention to
click on "INTERNET TABLET SCHOOL", which also has a great set of youtube
videos with total setup videos on things like setting up the N800 email
program to work with Google Mail, etc. Tablet school probably has all
you're looking for and can answer lots of your questions. The listing
for his tutorials is here:
http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/200...ents-page.html

---------------------------------and finally.....

I have upgraded my N800 to the latest OS2008 version, using the Windows
installer which makes reloading the OS child's play. However, as the
tablet school tells you DO NOT RESTORE os2007 SETTINGS to the 2008
upgrade. It screws it and that hasn't been fixed.

I ran the new OS2008 a couple of weeks but missed all the 206 apps from
OS2007 that haven't been ported to 2008, yet. 2008 also seemed to use
more memory and run slower than the simpler 2007 the N800 comes with. I
ran out of memory for no reason with far fewer apps installed than the
huge list of apps on OS2007, which ran fine.

So, I REinstalled OS2007, again with the Windows installer, and reloaded
only the software I really was using.....not all the stuff I did when I
was a noob...(c;

Don't be in too much of a hurry to upgrade to OS2008, just because it's
there. It's got some bugs the Linux geniuses that make this tablet so
great will soon iron out for us...and Nokia, I suppose. A few hundred
Linux hackers are working around the clock on it across the planet.
They'll fix it, THEN I'll re-install it, yet again.

Every time you reload the operating system, you start up with a brand
new tablet with NOTHING ON IT, so save your data off to one of the two
memory cards and do a backup, anyways, so you can come back quickly
without all the typing.

Well, I see you're on your way to "Tablet School"...(c;

Be nice to the poor saps stuck with iPhones and contracts, ok. I do try
not to laugh, but am not always successful. Even just making a Skype
call on the tablet can make them very angry if they are in earshot.
They can't run anything on their box.....a SELLphone by design.
