How long does the GPS take to get a fix on the final unit?

That is actually a very good question I didn't even run it yet. Let me go out and try it for a while.

What repository did you install from? Or, do you mean it installed already in the OS?

I couldn't get any fix on my backyard, I will have to play with it a little more.

Have the same question about GPS initialization.

In Dan's video he said it took 4-5 minutes ... which is unacceptable in my opinion. With modern GPS chips and normal circumstances 60 secs should be the norm. So, I hope either it was a hickup for Dan and/or that Nokia fixed it, or at least can improve it maybe (firmware? software)

RE: Network storage - gigabit speed.
Some manufacturers plaster a gigabit port on the board, but the chipset is outdated / slow bus / ... they don't work faster than fast ethernet.
I have some NSLU2. Upgraded to a WD My Book World Edition Gigabit network drive. Or so I thought. What a piece of junk! Features are very limited. Comes with trial software for remote access that is awful as well. And, on top of it all it is only a fraction faster than a NSLU. And, I mean small fraction. Only works at 5mb/s. Does not have a sleep function. Hard drive kept spinning. Device ran hot. I'd say avoid the WD My Book World as the plague. Fortunately I was able to return mine to the store.
Right now I am looking into synology. They seem solid performers with loads of features.
Also have a look at smallnetbuilder site. Loads of info there on various products. (plus confirmation that the MyBook WE is horribly slow. Only I bough mine months before they tested it)

@ Munky261.

I would have carpooled and split the gas. I contemplated that trip for an hour yesterday morning. As it sits, I am currently waiting for mine to be shipped from Nokia.

anybody else having any issues with the touchscreen and clicking small links , such as the numbers for these pages???

On the desktop it works fine ... but then I'm used to being on forums as well.

On the tablet it is trickier.

Icerabbit, Thanks a lot for your post about the storage link thing...
I will look into synology and get something that worths the money.

For GPS Fix I really didn't have much time but I believe I waited almost 2 mins
but no fix.

I picked up this card, it's only 4g, but you could get 3 for the price of the sandisk 8g.

I have no idea if it will work with the 810.. I'm still waiting (one of the "lucky" 500 ) to buy mine.

Congrates on your new addition.
