Some crafty coders over at InternetTableTalk were able to (with more than a bit of effort) get the Android platform up-and-running on the Nokia N810. Seems as though Nokia devices are a bit partial to Android, which comes as a surprise considering Nokia’s new efforts in open handsets. Let’s hope it’s a sign of things to come. Check out the install instructions after the break (they’re super easy).

How to Install Android on the Nokia N810

No partitioning needed (135MB free space needed)
———————————————–
Step #1
Put android.img.bz2 on your memory card

After putting the file on the memory card (either one) there must be 110MB free space on whichever card is holding the android.img.bz2 image.

You can get the file here (See md5sum information below)

Step #2
Then install the deb, this will flash your kernel and give you an icon in extras menu to start Android.

Once complete you just reboot
