How long does the GPS take to get a fix on the final unit?

Re: ii am posting from my new 810
 

That is actually a very good question I didn't even run it yet. Let me go out and try it for a while.

What repository did you install from? Or, do you mean it installed already in the OS?

I couldn't get any fix on my backyard, I will have to play with it a little more.

Have the same question about GPS initialization.

In Dan's video he said it took 4-5 minutes ... which is unacceptable in my opinion. With modern GPS chips and normal circumstances 60 secs should be the norm. So, I hope either it was a hickup for Dan and/or that Nokia fixed it, or at least can improve it maybe (firmware? software)

RE: Network storage - gigabit speed.
Some manufacturers plaster a gigabit port on the board, but the chipset is outdated / slow bus / ... they don't work faster than fast ethernet.
I have some NSLU2. Upgraded to a WD My Book World Edition Gigabit network drive. Or so I thought. What a piece of junk! Features are very limited. Comes with trial software for remote access that is awful as well. And, on top of it all it is only a fraction faster than a NSLU. And, I mean small fraction. Only works at 5mb/s. Does not have a sleep function. Hard drive kept spinning. Device ran hot. I'd say avoid the WD My Book World as the plague. Fortunately I was able to return mine to the store.
Right now I am looking into synology. They seem solid performers with loads of features.
Also have a look at smallnetbuilder site. Loads of info there on various products. (plus confirmation that the MyBook WE is horribly slow. Only I bough mine months before they tested it)

@ Munky261.

I would have carpooled and split the gas. I contemplated that trip for an hour yesterday morning. As it sits, I am currently waiting for mine to be shipped from Nokia.

anybody else having any issues with the touchscreen and clicking small links , such as the numbers for these pages???

Re: ii am posting from my new 810
 

On the desktop it works fine ... but then I'm used to being on forums as well.

On the tablet it is trickier.

Re: ii am posting from my new 810
 

Icerabbit, Thanks a lot for your post about the storage link thing...
I will look into synology and get something that worths the money.

For GPS Fix I really didn't have much time but I believe I waited almost 2 mins
but no fix.

I picked up this card, it's only 4g, but you could get 3 for the price of the sandisk 8g.

I have no idea if it will work with the 810.. I'm still waiting (one of the "lucky" 500 ;) ) to buy mine.

Congrates on your new addition.
