A while ago I was asked if it would be possible to “brand” and completely configure the Nokia 770 for a specific company with a specific set of applications. It took a while but I got it done. Then I was asked to do the same for the N800 (the successor of the Nokia 770). After I was done I thought I ‘d put my steps down, so that other people can do the same. This is the complete guide to making a custom package that will install on the N800 (the instructions for the 770 are in ITALIC), and reconfigure the device to match your company’s image. This is a particular good idea if a lot of people in your management wants to use the devices to connect to check their email for example. The devices seem to be pretty popular with management nowadays.

NOTICE: I did not make this tutorial 8 pages long for the fun of it. Some pages are smaller and shorter the others. Each page is one step. This is to make it easier to read. You can always download the pdf instead. The index will also be on each page so you can jump wherever you want :)
