That should have read wonky camera.

If anyone has a Black Jack II and wants to connect, I provided the web link
earlier that provides the necessary files.  Jonathan provided a link for
'maemo-pan' that runs on OS2008.  Here are the links again:

To configure your Black Jack II for Internet Sharing:

bile-Phone-Review.aspx (there are two files to download and one is already
on the phone)

To get PAN for OS2008 (thanks, Jonathan):

Mark, thanks for the recommendation (hard reset).  I tried it, didn't work.
I keep getting a message that the cards (both) are corrupted or unformatted.
At this point I'm not sure what to do.  This seems like an OS2008 issue as
they both worked yesterday and today when I backed up and the cards are
readable on my Windows Vista system.

To all who provided ideas - THANKS! :-)

Nick.

UPDATE:  I read the 'help' and configured the home screen.  Sheesh, I need a
rest.  And the wonky phone is characteristic of the Black Jack 2.  Jonathan,
I used the Maemo-Pan to connect - THANKS for the link!

Nick.

UPDATE:

I installed the PAN software on the N800 and was able to connect to the
internet.  Life is sort of good.

Now I have to get another Black Jack II phone because the camera doesn't
work.  I actually have to laugh at all this... :-)

A question - on OS2007, there was a means to configure the main screen, e.g.
move things around.  When I installed OM Weather, it displays in the same
place as Google.  I'd like it to display at the bottom of the screen.  I've
gone through the Control Panel and the main screen settings and I can't find
a means to do this.  And I've gone through OM Weather settings looking for a
'placement' option.  Can anyone tell me how to get things to be where I want
them to be on the main screen?

THANKS!

Now to continue working on the storage card issue...

Nick.

Thanks, Mark.  I too have upgraded to a new release each time.  I bought my
N800 the day it came out (1/8/2007) and each time I've upgraded the OS I
haven't had any problems with the cards.  Until this time (2GB each).  It
won't recognize either and I just did a backup yesterday and today and the
cards are viewable by Windows.

So I've removed, reinserted, removed, reinserted, attempted to reformat and
nothing has worked.  You ever have one of those days when you want to take
all your gizmos outside and blast them with a shotgun? :-)

Nick.

I've had situations where when I connected my N800 to my desktop via
USB and one or the other card wouldn't show up on the PC. That happens
when some program on the Nokia is accessing one of the cards at the
moment you plug in the USB cable. When I put the Nokia through a fresh
boot it worked okay.

It works the other way as well - if you connect to your PC and the
cards are visible to the PC, they won't be visible to the Nokia. You
have to disconnect from the PC to make the cards visible to the Nokia
again. Have you rebooted the Nokia after disconnecting from the PC?

I've also had the Nokia not recognize its own card because whatever
switch or sensor tells it that the door is open wasn't registering the
proper state. After fiddling with it a bit (removing & reinserting,
jiggling the door/switch etc. it worked.

I didn't have any problems with my cards (I've got two 8GB cards) when
reflashing. I've upgraded two or three times alread - I've upgraded
every time a new OS release came out and am currently on the latest
OS2008.

Mark
