There's no ntp, but there's ntpdate and rdate, both of which can accurately set the N800 clock (I provide rdate for OS2007, didn't build one for OS2006. Don't know if ntpdate is available also for OS2006). And as the clock in my N800 seems to be keep time amazingly well I don't feel the need for ntp. As for the N810 and its GPS, I'm as curious as you.

I found the N800 clock to be pretty accurate as well, but haven't tested with any clock syncing apps or anything. Just a simple comparison. As opposed to my 770, where the clock would lose up to 15 minutes within a week. It was terribly inaccurate.

That's my experience as well -- but it's handy for those times when I forget to recharge the device and the battery completely died.

For those times you need just ntpdate or rdate!
(You want ntp (the daemon) only on systems which tend to drift.. from other postings it sounds like the 770 could have some need for it.)

I don't think so. You can get much nicer in-car GPS systems for well under the $600 that the N810 costs (once you pay the extra bucks for GPS software.)
