Re: what to do while i wait for my n810
 

As a CS+math student, I use a Mozilla extension called Scrapbook to save the lectures notes that are given in html and then copy them onto my Tablet instead of printing them. I store pdf textbooks on it as well. I take text notes, haven't tried LaTeX. No much programming, but ssh is useful to access my account now and again. I wish it had a camera to take pictures (I'm talking 770 here) to take pics of people's notes.
It's also my calendar (it syncs with the Google one) + to-do list. And, most importantly, it's my mp3 player on my way to school. :P

So what to do? I'd prepare some folders with stuff I'd like to have at hand to copy it ont the Nokia later. Like an mp3 folder, the school notes in a second one, a language course in a third one (I learn arabic),...
I'd read the forums and choose some software (like the calendar and to-do list, a text editor,...)

You could spend the week learning more about Linux, depending on how well-versed you already are. Command-line skills can come in handy--vi and usage of apt-get, for example.

I too am waiting for mine to come in about a week and I have been on the forums reading quite a bit about certain bug issues and the software I would like to try out and some general linux commands since I am a novice on that front, although I do program for other languages. I am hoping to get to know this device over the next 6 months while finishing up my BS degree in software engineering and hope to write some useful apps for the community as well :).

Great tip for offline browsing, thanks. I usually save webpages as A5-sized pdf files with Firefox using the cupspdf package, which is available for linux and OSx, and then write notes on them using Xournal on my n800.

T-mobile just lowered their total plan (hotspot/Internet/Edge) to 19.95. The lower plan is not great for Internet, only e-mailing/IMing kinds of tasks...

BTW, did you order from Dell? I am still waiting for my Jan 9 -11 date...Been using the N770 and just as I was about to get the N800 saw the N810 would be out...any day now...months ago...
