What are your esstional apps for the n810? I've only tried maemo mapper and have yet to figure out how to get driving directions. but besides that, what are some programs that you'll immediately install after a flash?

pyRDesktop, Feed Circuit, WordPy, xournal, emelFM2.

That is, I would install those *if* I ever reflashed. But thanks to acronis true image, I never reflash.

Though last I tried it does NOT work if you have a google account without a gmail address, google claims this does work but I searched and found many others complaining that it only works through the web client not through standalone clients.

Getting a Gmail account doesn't seem like a big imposition to me. You can use any standalone client to read Gmail. If you don't want Gmail for long term storage you can delete email from Gmail when you retrieve with IMAP. If your hangup is the @gmail.com address, Gmail will consolidate email from a number of different accounts and the sender to those accounts won't know it went to Gmail. While doing all of this you still have Gmails excellent SPAM filtering.
