Eero - That's a helpful command I could have used earlier this week!
My backup path in 2008 was from N810 prerelease N810 firmware update
to N800 2008 beta to current release 2008.  stylus did not work on the
N800 until I did the fresh flash with minimal restore. I know the
similar input issues were found by other users based on the comments
I've gotten, the bugzilla report and on ITT.  Just trying to help
those who may find similar problems.

I can appreciate that moving across non-synchronous software releases
from different hardware may lead to problems...
