Nokia has reduced their support for the N810 and for me it's not worth the potential re-installation hassles right now. You can't even download Skype for it anymore (officially).

I may reformat it in the future but I'm looking for a specific answer to this question at the moment. Thanks.
I understand that the previous owner probably has some really nice settings or apps already "preloaded", but if I were you I'd be paranoid about the scripts he/she might have kept running.
I'm not saying that the previous owner is definitely malicious (or stupid), but I wouldn't take that chance.

There is of course, nothing wrong with what you're doing, but from a security point of view, all bets are off.

Also, are you sure about Skype? I reflashed my n810 about a month ago and all that I had to do get it started again was to click on the skype button. This caused the skype application to be auto installed and it was up and working in about 5 minutes.

I've never used the wayfinder thing, so I wouldn't be able to comment on it.
