with due diligence and a little time, you’ll find that it’s very easy to swap the outer casing of your Nokia N810. But have you ever thought about swapping its operating system for another one?

Probably not, but in case you’re interested in trying out Google’s Android OS before it finally comes out, here’s your chance. There’s actually a two-step process that will let you run the Android OS on a Nokia N810, which is so easy, in fact, that you just wasted your time with reading those last three sentences. Here’s the secret.

First, download “android.img.bz2″ from this drop off point. [Link]

Then, when you’ve finished downloading that, install “android-installer.deb” from either of the following links.

I believe you’d have to do the downloading part on the Nokia N810 itself. And then afterwards, all you have to do is reboot and run the thing by hitting the new Android icon that will appear in the Extras Menu subfolder.

Better head on over to Internet Tablet Talk for more instructions and tips from those who’ve already tried it. You don’t want to brick your device now, do you? Better safe than bricked, as I always say. And remember this only works with N810’s running Diablo, the latest firmware.
