How are you running Tux Paint on the N810? I cannot get the only available package to run on my N810 (OS2008). It installs, but will not run. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.

Only 5h and 20 minutes? With my n800 I was able to watch videos pretty much non-stop at work for almost 8 hours with wifi on and me switching back and forth (leaving the video running) to chat in IRC or AIM. I'd also occasionally search for something on the internet. I could get a whole 12 hour shift with periodic movies and lots of browsing/chatting. And I think with the extended battery option available I could get more than 12 hours of constant run time with power hungry tasks.
Browsing wise I don't really notice a huge difference in load time between the n800 and my laptop. Maybe 15 seconds longer for some sites (CNN, gizmodo, etc.), but really it's taking 15 seconds longer and fits in my pocket. People are in such a hurry tsk tsk.
I'm currently on a lookout for a n810. Since I feel the need for one again.
And yes, here in Hong Kong...people are always in a rush...in the fast lane. You're not?

Like sondjata, a couple of youtube videos and the battery is flat.
And before you ask, yes, this happened when it was new and, no, I won't fork the $$$ required for an original nokia battery thank you, sido batteries are just fine.

I'm not that fond of DivX myself. But I understand it's your personal preference.
