Dear all,

I am considering one of these units for my work and have some questions about the N810.

Purpose,
Use N810 for remote system admin., of boxes in work while I am on-call.

Questions about functionality,
i) Keyboard. Does this have these keys on the buildin keypad:
~ | ' ` ! " $ % ^ & * ( ) {} [] <> /\
ii) Keyboard: will the micro-USB connector allow a keyboard or mouse to be connected? If not, not too much of a prob since there are BT kbds, but these drain more electricity.

iii) Is there a USB or SDIO card-to-100BaseT/RJ45 (for connection in the office ; no wireless available)

iv) Is Is there a USB or SDIO card-to-GPRS/EDGE available,

v) Is there a USB or SDIO card-to-SERIAL-PORT available,

vi) Will the Bluetooth PAN or DUN work with a Nokia 5310 Xpress Music handset,

viii) Are these programmes available in the repos for maemon,
VPNC [/edit: Looks like it might be found here: http://maemo.org/community/wiki/installvpnc/ ]
KeyPass http://keepass.info/
TOR
Pidgin (formally known as Gaim) [/edit: found http://pidgin.garage.maemo.org/ and down here http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/pidgin/ ]
Thunderbird [/edit: Someone has compiled Shrredder aka Thunderbird on maemo but who knows where one can d/l this... http://www.internettablettalk.com/20...bird-on-maemo/ ]
GNUPG- [ /edit: Found with GPGME and ClawsMail support this. ]

I appriciate that this list is rather long, but I have to know so that I can decide whether to buy the unit or not.

Best wishes, Z.
