Andrew,
thanks for sharing those insights.
I also tested the www site (which is running a Microsoft OS with IIS)
using a QVGA handset running Windows Mobile 5.0 + latest feature pack.
Ironically the IE browser, which comes as a part of Windows Mobile 5.0
did worse than Opera on the N800 does with this particular www site. In
fact I was unable to download or upload anything with the WM 5.0 IE
browser.
It so happens that I have Minimo installed on this handset so I tried it
to access the www site and, although it performed better than IE, it
tended to lock up Windows Mobile 5.0, thus requiring a hard reset of the
handset.
For anyone who is interested in learning more about Windows Mobile 5.0,
I should mention that there is an ARM emulator including images for
Windows Mobile 5.0 that runs on Microsoft Windows XP (and I assume Vista
and perhaps even Windows 2000) available at the Microsoft www site for
download. One very useful aspect of this emulator is that it connects
the TCP/IP stack of the virtual device to the host OS the way that other
virtualization tools like VMware, Xen, and Microsoft Virtual Server/PC
do. Thus the device can have IP connectivity.
Here is the url to that www page at the Microsoft www site where you can
obtain the emulator + images:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=C62D54A5-183A-4A1E-A7E2-CC500ED1F19A&displaylang=en
This is a stand-alone emulator so you do not need to have Visual Studio
in order to use it.
Best Regards,
John Holmblad

does the www browser on the N800 fully and correctly implement
javascript?
If it does not it is unlikely that you, I, or even Nokia can do much
about it, Opera is proprietary software and judging by comments made by
Nokia people on this list and elsewhere not even they have the source
code...
However...
I have a www site that I can visit with the Firefox (2.0.0.2) Browser
running on Windows XP Pro SP2 and successfully download and upload
files from/to the www site. The www site uses javascript.
...If Mozilla works properly you should investigate Minimo, which is
Mozilla for embedded devices. It ran fine on the 770 (I used it myself
for a while), I am unsure of what the status of any N800 port is.
However, when I attempt to do this from the N800 www browser, the
upload and download, although it seems to work, results in corrupted
files on the receiving side when the receiving side is the N800. On
the other hand I seem to be able to upload files from the N800 to the
www site most (but still less than 100%) of the time.
Many people use(d) Minimo for these exact reasons, the superior
JavaScript implementation (Netscape invented JS after all) worked well
for AJAX or other JS-heavy sites like Gmail. Opera gets crashy when you
tax it's JS engine.
