Here's a thought (not a quick solution) - there are a lot of us who use the iGo Stowaway. I've written a couple of times to iGo to develop a map for the Stowaway. If enough folks on this list write and pester them, maybe they'll consider it a market worthy of playing in for real and develop

Ctrl works fine for me (full-sized iGo/ThinkOutside Stowaway Bluetooth) - perhaps you mean Fn? The layout on the N800 intercepts Fn and interprets it as a right-click, so if you want to use any Fn-whatever key combinations (in light blue on the keyboard), you need to set up a small

For my N800 I bought the StowAway (NOT the compact version which is crippled) and it works perfectly except a) the ESC gets intercepted by OS2007 Very true. Hopefully this is corrected in OS2008. CTRL also doesn't work. b) OS2007 requires lots of clicks to crank up BlueTooth and make it

I have to disagree. Depending upon the app you're using it works fine. For example, I reloaded by books and movies databases for use in MobileDB. No problems whatsoever. I'm also running '1/2 Convert' and 'Fill Up' without issues. The only program, thus far, that I've had issues with (and

John, I agree with your comments regarding PDA software as well as the difficulty of menus. I found the menus on the N800 to be extremely simple. I have a PSP (original) and it is nowhere near as functional as the N800 and certainly more challenging to move around (I mostly use it for games).

I can't believe that Nokia still expects its users to reload everything in order to install a patch. This has got to be the most poorly designed OS I've ever encountered. Fixing this should be their #1 priority. I'm sorry to vent but this makes no sense. Many, like me, held off updating
