Not a card carrying member of N900? Not a problem, step by step instructions for N8x0 is here, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=52156

Since I got N8x0 and N900 running, a simple comparison can be made:

With the current situation, N8x0 running orb is many time better than N900!

For N8x0
1) Screen is bigger
2) orb has back arrow, so changing channel is only 1 stroke away. for the N900 changing channel is like pull out a molar (your inner big tooth), a whopping 6 stroke key punches and waiting .... in order to change channel on N900
3) N800 use full screen, while N900 sometimes has 2 borders, sometimes has 4 borders....I think it is a problem with the media player on N900.................PR 1.2 will fix it
4) orb program guide runs without flaw on N800. on N900 it is totally ******!
5) Oh one more, this is nasty. N900 media player streaming TV would sometimes crashed every 3 - 4 min, nothing can bring it back other than a lovely reboot! N800 does not have this feature! PR 1.2 will fix it

So, for the next trip, I will have to carry 2 Nokias, one to be use for general purpose, and one for watching my TV
