<br>I've read this list enough to know that it will do the things I want it<br>to do (and more) once I write a few minor applications for it. I've<br>been programming since the 60's, am a long-time Unix and emacs user, and
<br>am currently using Debian on several machines. (I've started writing<br>the crucial minor applications on a Debian system).<br><br>My questions are:<br><br>Where do I go to get started as an end-user of the N800?

Software repositories for the N800 seem to be scattered among many<br>sites. Where should I look? Is there an index somewhere?</blockquote><div><br> <a href="http://www.gronmayer.com/it/">http://www.gronmayer.com/it/</a>

</blockquote><div><br>The flasher does some basic validation. But it's better to use only official images from Nokia or Maemo.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Is it possible to ruggedize the N800? I've already destroyed several<br>Nokia cell phones and a Palm pilot by letting them drop out of<br>my pocket onto the floor when I bend over. (My Palm is still limping<br>along with gratuitous blobs of orange pixels and uneven backlighting
<br>after several falls. Kudos to the manufacturer!)</blockquote><div><br>You can buy some case for your N800 - <a href="http://stepanoff.org/wordpress/archives/tag/case">http://stepanoff.org/wordpress/archives/tag/case</a>
