Has not crashed once

I have to say I'm surprised by the comment and the review of the N800 frequqntly crashing as I have been using the device daily without a single problem since the first day it was released. I've even been installing software from the prior version Mistral repository (the current is Bora) and having most of the software work just fine. When a mistral package does crash it has not locked up the device.

Overall, this is a wonderful device and I would personally rate it much higher. It connects easily via wireless networks and has a beautiful easily read screen. When wifi isn't available I've been connecting to the net via bluetooth on my phone. I've installed GAIM clients so I can IM on ICQ, AIM and Yahoo. I've also installed Python libraries and a shell for programming. I've even been able to remote my windows desktop at home with a VNC viewer over wifi with remarkable speed for such a small device. I can access a multitude of music via Streamtuner and I've tried different applets such a CPU and Process manager.

I think you guys need to play with the N800 a little more and really start exploring what you can install and do with it.
