So, if I have well understood your instructions and the links you have post, I just could:

1º copy/move the image file from sdcard to my PC Debian machine.
2º run the "resize2fs" command for the file on the PC
3º put back the resized file to the sdcard
4º ¿enjoy?

Again, thank you.
Yes, this is the 1st option. Increase up to 2GB. I have used it for some time. One more reason to increase using a Linux PC : making it on N810 takes a long, long time.

The 2nd option is more difficult to do but you can have more than 2GB of a dedicated partition and better performance (in ext2/ext3).
