thanks about the MiniSD card although i cant find one that goes up to 8Gb but i have found 8Gb microSD that dont come with adaptors so i have to spend an extra £5 on an 2gb miniSD card just for the adaptor (although i could put the 2gb in my phone ). my current case is a nice padded psp case but the n810 is smaller than a n800 so i will get a ds case and sell the psp one with the n800. as you quoted $160 its about £100 which is what i was going to sell it to him in the first place. still no answer for 3
