Well first off I'd just like to say that the "similar threads" function on this forum is pretty awesome...I can see how that would be incredibly beneficial for other forums to implement to cut down on redundant posts.
Now on to the point
Today I purchased the N810 and am looking forward to playing around with it tonight after work. The community Ive seen thus far seems to be pretty good in size and the available custom apps is MUCH better than I had expected. I am coming from an Archos player which did have its benefits but with picky as all hell wifi, no real 3rd party app support, and a very very bulky unit, I just didn't feel it was right for me. Im pretty much able to do a direct swap from a cost perspective anyway so no skin off my back!
I've got only a couple questions that hopefully will put me down the right track for using this nifty device:
1 - What programs / updates / etc are a MUST for any new N810 user? Whether it be internet radio apps, email apps, chat apps (is there one for AIM?)..whatever. Just a general idea of some top notch progs that you couldn't live without on the 810
2 - I do hope to use this as a fun little GPS unit as well. Now I've been reading the issues people have been having with the GPS built-in unit not obtaining satellite lock in a reasonable amount of time if even at all. I'll have to find out whether or not my unit will be prone to the same issues tonight but a simple thought came to me as a resolution...couldn't you just use a BT gps receiver (i.e. Nokia makes 2 I believe) and sync that up with the 810 and you're problems would be solved? And does the HH-xx car adapter on Nokia's site work with the 810? Do I have to get another adapter to hook the 810 up to the HH window adapter cause the picture doesn't make it seem like it just snaps right in or anything.
Thanks very much for the info guys/gals. Looking forward to getting back into the Nokia world
