I guess I should have noted that, it is a BRAND new n800 from buy.com.

Still havent opened it, because I am work.
So just so I have this right...

Back up, then update the OS and change password?

Yes, this will be my uses of this device. Not listed by importance, but only things I plan on using.

1. Surf the net.
2. View maps (without GPS if possible)
3. View media (music, movies, pdfs/books)
4. Dictionary, spanish-english dict.

**5. Chatting ( I have AIM and Yahoo)

Thats pretty much it.

Any suggestions knowing that info.

Thanks very much for the replies so far. Great community!
