I realize that they're trying to protect novices from themselves, but it sure isn't very user-friendly. Can you explain how to extract a .deb file from the repository? I've tried every trick I can think of, and some apps simply don't give any access to the .deb file. Regarding the touch screen: I have the newest version of OS2008 on my N800, and there definitely are issues with the accuracy. I've tried calibrating many times, but it doesn't seem to help. I'm constantly frustrated with getting spaces instead of bottom-row keys when using the stylus with the on-screen keyboard. Clicking on links on Web pages can be challenging as well.
