I've now had the N800 for two weeks and would like to share some lessons learned.

• First of all, upgrading to the latest version of OS2008 is critical to avoid the power on bug. (Instructions).
• It is useful to add additional software repositories. A good list is contained at gronmayer.com

I just received my Nokia N800 two days ago and thought I would give my first impressions here.

First of all the screen is amazing, as everyone says. It's 800x480 at 4.1". The resolution and sharpness is amazing. However, this resolution and size actually presents a downside where many UI elements (particularly website viewing) is too small. Yes, the webbrowser has a zoom option, but it's not quite perfect; not as good as the zooming capability of the iPhone, for instance.
