Installing Android OS on the Nokia N810

The badasses over at Unwired View have figured out how to install the Android OS dev image on the Nokia N810 running the Diablo (latest) firmware; effectively replacing the operating system with Android and allowing you to play around with it long before real Android phones and devices will hit the street.

The best part, it’s a 2-step process to be done from the 810N directly that will probably take no more than a few minutes, more specifically:

    Download android.img.bz2
    Install android-installer.deb
    Reboot the Nokia 810N

Now you’ll have a new entry under the Extras Menu that you can fire up to do the install. If you get stuck, have questions or want more information about the process, check out the Internet Table Talk Forums here for a slew of folks that have done this and can help.
