The current version of the Nokia IT, the N810 has the following relevant specs: Memory * DDR RAM 128MB * Flash 256MB Storage * Up to 2GB internal memory * Support for compatible miniSD and microSD memory cards (with extender). Supports cards up to 8GB. (SD cards over 2GB must be SDHC compatible.) Jay, I'll gladly take either/both of the Nokia's sitting on your junk shelf. Mine has been stable, great fun, and an interesting learning experience. Clearly this is not a consumer device. Mine came with an unstable OS, but the upgrade to the most recent OS made all the difference, at least for me. While I would only recommend it to either a gadget enthusiast or a Linux partisan, there is much value in this device. It's not a PDA and won't (despite the available Garnet VM) replace my Palm device, but given its feature set I've found many uses for it. ---------- ---Matthew *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 2/10/2008 at 10:56 PM David M.

The problem with the nokia is that they only put 64M of RAM into it. Who in this day & age thought of that with ram prices so cheap. But with that in mind, and using the hacked OS2007 image i'm fairly stable :) at least enough to run some "decent" apps (600 page ebook, kismit, a few xterms, ssh, etc; never all at the same time...). Just don't load a lot of applets and extra apps, it is a small tablet. http://maemo.org/community/wiki/Os2007On770 That's the link to the OS2007 for the 770. I still have some issues with stability but i know it's 100% due to running out of ram & hitting swap. It does run way too many daemons, but it is linux and you can tweek it some :) David If you need more power, there is always the OQO of the sony. But they are slightly bigger than the average PDA.

It wasn't stable and crashed frequently -- I figured it was because myson dropped it from 3 feet or so.Fine, I give Nokia the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps a loose surfacemount component... ok. Whatever, I get it.Crash Crash Crash. So I then bought another one. It wasn't stable enough either and crashed almost as frequently (I wasobsessed about keeping Juniors hands off of it this time around).Having 2 unstable Nokia devices are enough for me to perhaps inspire thepentester to think again about using even one.If someone has better luck with this, then good for you! I am jealous,as I have spent untold hours on mine trying to get things to a point of stability.As it is now, these are relegated to sitting on a shelf in the home lab. The shelf is labeled "The Junk Shelf". Spend and learn. Jay James INFOSEC ID Analytics, Inc.

Try a Nokia N810 and run kismet, aircrack, dsniff, and metasploit instead. On Feb 4, 2008, at 8:02 PM, Paul Greene <techlists () comcast net> wrote:I hope this isn't too off topic for the list. I want to buy a PDA that can also be used as a phone, has builtin 802.11 b/g wifi, and, importantly, has no problems running mini- stumbler. If the device also had a built in 1 or 2 megapixel camera, even better. The HP iPAQ 510 looks like it has the specs, but I can't find anyone anywhere using this particular model with mini-stumbler. Almost all of the Google searches I ran on mini-stumbler and iPAQs came up with older posts, i.e. 2-5 years ago. (the operating system on the iPAQ 510 is Windows Mobile 6.0) I'm not set on an iPAQ, but am more interested in getting a current PDA model that someone is already running (with the above specs) and is enthusiastically happy with what they've got.
