Hi all brand new owner of n810 here. I needed a device that could access internet and email on the go and I cannot afford a smartphone plan. thought about an android tablet but wanted something smaller so this fit the bill and the price. got it used/new. now while I'm not familiar with linux I did learn PC on a DOS system so command line does not bother me. anyway my big question is about storage. in no time at all I am getting unable to install messages from application manager and I realize that I just have a few megs of free space on the 256mb "hard drive". Now I assumed apps would just go to the internal 2gb drive when that was full but that has not happened. additionally I thought I could just install them to my 8gb micro sd card but that option is not available. searching the forum the only solution I find is cloning to and SD card and booting from there...but that can't be true can it? I would be shocked to find that is the only answer, I mean nokia must have realized 256mb would be filled up by a few essentials and would have thought to provide another way to add some space for apps. now I'm not talking about media or maps or docs or pdf's etc, I know I can just plop them on the internal or removable memory and they will be available. I mean installing packages from the app manager or a 1click link. I have searched and though I get that feeling I didn't find anyone clearly say that it was not possible to install apps to either the internal memory or sd. that really doesn't make sense if it's true and would be really short sighted. although this device does bascially what I wanted it to do (albeit slooowly) the bonuses that additional apps provide would really be nice. there were a few games where the packages were over half the 256mb drive so really, what sense would that make? I like the unit, but it's slow cpu certainly hampers it and it's main draw, web browsing is PAINFULLY slow. not to mention the wifi reception seems to be weak, but then I haven't used compatible devices so maybe they all are on this type of platform. so if someone could tell me if cloning and booting from sd is the only way or not I would appreciate it.
