You should switch steps 1 and 2. Assisted GPS uses cell tower triangulaton because it's faster than GPS satellite lock in. So, triangluation for fast approximation of location followed by more precise location once the satellite info kicks in.

From the manual:

Important: To prevent damage to the SIM card, always
remove the battery before you insert or remove the card

The Sketch application automatically saves when you close it.
Same for Notes.

Xournal actually saves in an autosave file and only when you actually press Save it will save it with the file name chosen by you.

Wondering if I should stick with that behaviour...

I haven't read the Maemo 5 HIG, but I wonder if there's advice about saving. I quite liked the behaviour of my previous Palm OS handhelds, which didn't have an explicit save behaviour. Everything was saved as soon as you changed it, although of course you could undo.

With Maemo software, it is possible to develop your own applications for your device
I never thought I'd read that in a USER manual!!!!
I'm a developer and for the first time I'm the user... I LOVE IT.

Exactly what's the point of making an "important" note ?
oh well...

For those of you who don't read manuals, this is from page 6:

Your device is not water-resistant. Keep it dry.
This has been a public service announcement.
