I've been reading these forums since 2 days ago and I got convinced into buying the N800 from this forum. I'm so excited and love the device. I really need some help though~

Glad to see you chose wisely and got in in so fast. Mine was a gift but like you, I researched like mad to get something that will work for me. Then I asked the wife for it :0)

The card is irrelevant. You don't need one at all. You can use one to add large amounts of music, video, documents, or anything else your heart desires.
Either slot is fine, just be aware the internal one isn't meant to be "hot swapped" meaning you shouldn't just pull it out when the device is running. The external slot under the stand can be removed on the fly, but I never hot-swap that one either, to ensure the card doesn't error out or hang a system daemon.
One gig cards are truly cheap now- about ten US dollars for one at some places (walmart always has a sale for cheapies) but you can also get a 4 GB for under $50 if you look around online (like Newegg.com for example.)

I don't use MSN, but you should be able to get to it from the web browser. I've used online email "Webmail" for work, my own server, and Comcast. MSN should be the same. Just log into your account right from the browser.

2008 will most likely be necessary to view your email online, the newer OS really makes a difference in what you can browse to- with more support for Java and Flash sites too. As you have heard it's no longer Beta either. Stop installing applications now because you'll just have to reinstall them again after the upgrade. And for elCamino, just export your bookmarks onto a card or move them over to the n800 with USB, then you can use File Manager to get to them.

Have fun!
