Yes, the N810 comes with 256mb for the system, and 2gb for extra storage.

b) So what you use additional memory cards for is simply for non-application data (like music, documents, etc). Makes more sense to me now.

With traditional usage, yes, however, as stated, you CAN move the OS to another card (I'd Recommend the 2gb), now easier than ever with the post above ^^.

Final example/questions:
1) Assume I still have the OS happily running of the 256 (I assume 256MB Flash memory). I buy a 16GB memory card. Can I now access data stored on both the internal 2GB as well as the new 16GB card - making my combined memory 18GB - or am I restricted to just access one of the two?

You can ACCESS data from both cards, they show up in the file manager, etc, as two separate drives.

2) Is there a significant/noticeable slowness in access and playing a movie for instance if it is stored on the internal 2GB memory or on a card you plugged in?

Thanks, you guys truly are the best...!

Nope. I have a class 4 microSDHC card and data access is just as fast as the 2gb internal and the 256mb (as far as I can tell.)
