The N800 has Flash 7, so does play Youtube videos. Does anyone know, please, if there is any means of just upgrading from Flash 6 to Flash 7 without substituting the 'hacked' 2007 O/S mentioned here? I have also read that you can 'flash upgrade' the N770 to make it support 2gb memory cards -does anyone know how that's done please?

I don't want to redo my work. I want to be able to take an image of the internal memory so i can reflash it back to what i started with if things don't go well. File copy wont get the root file system etc i don't think. THat is missing my point. I don’t want to redo my work.

It shouldn't be too hard to do a file based backup of the thing. What you do get 'out of the box' is a backup of personal data - contacts, bookmarks etc. Rather than backup the entire machine, I tend to view it as a chance to clean and install only the plugins and tools that I *really* need.

Think Norton ghost etc. I have yet to get an answer on this front. I want to try the new os but if it doesn't work I want to be able to do a restore with all my hacks and instals in tact.

I must say it is by far the best handheld device I have used to date. The OS is robust and has now turned my eye down the ix road to computing. In five minutes after opening the box I was listening to streaming music, checking my OWA account (outlook web access) and playing a game of chess, it was so easy that my mother could do it!

Did a few tarde shows and hawked them to the lenght and width of the country. Got a good few orders but all logistic were run through a Dutch company. Absolute nightmare to deal with. Had a lot of other stuff going on so moved on. Still have our first P&T that has served us well. I actually secured the sole agency rights for them in ‘98.

How come you didn't grab onto the Phil & Ted Franchise? Paul Evert,

Will give it a go. Doe you know if it's possible to flash OS 2006 back on to it later? E. P.S. Funny to read on your blog that you're a Phil & Ted fan. I'm the person "responsible" for introducing them to Ireland first in '98-'99... Mmm, sounds interesting. Will give it a go.

I'm sure I can sort this , but it means it's no longer a just-download-it-and-it-works. - Skype / Flash client support is only with the *very* latest OS 2007 , not the one available for this particular model. Again, can probably get it working, but firmly in the technie arena (not mainstream). Interesting note is that the upgrade *does* give you better access to google maps. So I'm happy with the Nokia, as it does the basic browsing that I wanted for the 100 euro price tag. Not sure where this leaves you :-) Paul James,
