My backup path in 2008 was from N810 prerelease N810 firmware update to N800 2008 beta to current release 2008. stylus did not work on the N800 until I did the fresh flash with minimal restore. I know the similar input issues were found by other users based on the comments I've gotten, the bugzilla report and on ITT. Just trying to help those who may find similar problems. I can appreciate that moving across non-synchronous software releases from different hardware may lead to problems... -- Jonathan Greene +1.914.750.8740 AIM / iChat - atmasphere gtalk / jabber - jonathangreene at gmail.com Skype / Gizmo - JonathanGreene blogs - http://www.atmasphere.net/wp / http://www.maemoapps.com
