What to do with my N810 NOW???
 
So I pretty much have my n810 set up the way that i want now, but im bored with not having any configuring to do.:o

Since I bought my n810 i have found all of these things to do that seemed interesting to try and it has now become more of a hoby to just play around with it then it has to actually use it. I am booting from the internal SD with the rotation slide configured on Diablo. But what now? I was thinking about installing KDE but have decided to wait for now. The thing is that I dont have a steady enough connection to the internet to try that much so the things that i do are mostly things that I can mess with offline. I have to sit outside next to my house to pick up a connection from my neighbor and its insanelly hot outside. (103 yesterday)

I was attempting to set up the whole free phone thing through that Globalconnect and Gizmo but have decided to put that on hold because of the lack of creating an account with globalconnect.:mad:

So, my question is, what would you do now?

Get a BT keyboard and learn python.... if you're done configuring you can start writing applications while listening to you favorite tracks.

Lol! I was just about to suggest that actually... I'm in the process of learning Python, PyGTK and trying to figure out the Edje bindings that the INDT team uses. :)

It's a lot of fun and really really useful for enhancing your tablet experience :)

I'll trade you a Stihl ms390 chainsaw. I'd love to be bored with an n810...

Since I got 16gb of memory, I am starting to load my favorite dvd movies and music videos .Also, I installed just the LCARS sound files to get different alert sounds.

Thats a pretty good idea... I just get a little intimidated by the whole process. I would like to start just poking around though.

Has anyone managed to get the mouse support running without to much configuring?

I was wondering how well a 16gb card would work? Is it pretty nice? I have a 2gb and a 4gb and I hate to switch back and forth.

Wow, 16gb memory? Is that with a USB drive? I plan on getting one eventually, but for now I'm waiting on my 8gb micro sdhc card.

My 16gb works fine. Bought a SanDisk for about $30. I leave it as the internal memory for my N800 and use the removable SD socket for my 2gb cards. I earlier bought an off brand 16gb card that didn't work.

Oh, has anyone used a 16gb sdhc with an n810 that has any idea about the functionallity of them?
