I connected to the wifi at work and in a local sports bar, and it has been great fun. What a cool device. A worthy successor to my Zaurus. I have a list of apps to install from garage yet, but that is coming.

I have a couple of questions regarding it. First of all, what/how should the external mini-SD card be connected? Should it be formatted ext2 or something else? Where in the filesystem to most of you mount it to or just leave it hanging out there?

*If you open file manager you can format the card, if you are not doing anything special I would format it FAT32, that way it will show up on computers when you connect via USB*

Second, I have had it randomly reboot on me a couple of times. Once was while I was changing themes. I was looking at themes, one after another, and after about the third one, it rebooted.

*Not sure about this, I've never had it happen to me*

The second one was just now. I do not have wireless at home (yet), and I don't have tethering activated on my phone (again, yet). So I was going to try to use USB networking. When I connected the USB cable, it popped up a message saying

Code:
Unable to connect via USB.
Memory card in use:
Internal memory card
I had just finished installing the debian-final.img.ext2, so I closed the box telling me the installation was successful, disconnected the USB cable, and reconnected it. It gave me the same pop-up, then rebooted. After reboot, I reconnected the USB, and again, got the same pop-up. The desktop I am connecting to is running Debian with KDE4.2, and the device notifier only shows me the external sd card with debian-final.img.ext2 on it. Last night when I first unboxed it, it showed both cards. Is this normal?

* are you doing anything funky like booting off your internal card?*

*In the past I have had one or both of the cards not show up when I have connected via USB but this has always sorted itself out if I reconnected.

Also, does the N810 charge from the USB?

*No*

Also, is there a way to change the original Nokia boot splash? Just wondering...
