i upgraded my n810 to diablo, and installed a-gps betait still takes me forever and a day to get a gps lock, if ever. does ur location in the world play a part? . - Alphonsus Lee

hmmm, wouldn't think so... where are you? - torr

i'm in singapore. i've installed a-gps beta, and moved the location pointer to the singapore region. but the gps still takes forever. is there some config file that i have to edit manually to get gps cranking? - Alphonsus Lee

a-gps shall work Ok in Singapore - send feedback to A-GPS project on betalabs http://www.nokia.com/A41163987 btw, do you have wifi or gprs/3g working while try to lock GPS? without that A-GPS is helpless - silpol

@silpol: gprs/3g? on the n810? how? :-) - Stelian Iancu

I find it very confusing that people tend to say "connected" - this is very old paradigm. for TCP/IP networks they prefer to say "has at least default gateway working" meaning that packets originated on your host (here it is N810) can go out and reach server. The fact it is bluetooth works as wireless *wire* between N810 and some phone , or whether it is WiFi - it doesn't matter much - silpol

“So for those WITH an N810, does the Diablo browser handle the new 'me.com' website reasonably, or is blocked for incompatibility? I gotta get to my local Nokia store to see...”

assuming, of course, that me.com stabilizes - go go engineers in the data centers! - Eric Sinclair

Based on experiences with Opera Mini and the native WebKit S60 browser, the answer is 'no'. - Eric Sinclair via twhirl

“for those who own nokia n810s, what are your most common uses/actions/tasks and at what locations?”

check email, twitter. use it on the go, on the road - Alphonsus Lee

email, twitter, google feed reading. I'd like to know if there's a decent twitter client for the N810. - Jason

im, email, browsing, music, games. I usually just twitter from my phone on the go as there is no twitter client at all that I have found for the n8x0. - Robert Jorgenson

I just got my N810 a couple of days ago. So far I do everything from the web browser: email (Gmail), read RSS feeds (Google Reader), and follow people on FriendFeed and Twitter. Works like a charm after I upgraded to Diablo. - Lars Juhl Jensen

I just got one and so far i have been using it on the couch for IM, gmail, light web browsing. Its a lot of fun, but im not sure i can use it to get any real work done. I have also tried eCoach to GPS track my daily run- useful, but not something i want to run with in my pocket. - Grahm Skee

Since I live in the browser on other computing devices, I usually live in the browser on the N810. I do like some apps, like Vagalume for last.fm streaming, or various games, Mauku for monitoring/posting to Jaiku (unfortunately the API being flaky causes Mauku to stop working), and some other apps I'm forgetting right now. But mainly use the browser for Gmail, GReader, Jaiku, etc. - Cheryl Jones

“i'm really impressed with the new diablo update. the browser now flies through web 2.0 apps. meebo works like a charm. don't have to install pidgin or rtcomm anymore!! everything can be done through the browser!”

two very different devices with enough overlap that begs for comparisons - torr

“I am hoping to see wimax N810 here in NYC this year. I have a treo 700p and am in serious need of upgrade. I am going to wait to see the iphone 3G and hopefully the N810w to compare them ”

what do you plan to use as a mobile phone if you go with the n810 WiMax edition? - torr

In theory if he doesn't leave the WiMax enabled area he could just use skype on his n810 as his phone. - Robert Jorgenson

indeed.... i'd like to hear from someone who has actually used skype on the n810 to get their sense for well it works, call quality, etc... - torr

I've used skype on the n810 over a wifi connection, never a cellular one, but it worked fantastically. I was even able to pair my jawbone with my n810 to make phone calls. A persistent skype friendly connection seemed so ideal at that point =) - Robert Jorgenson

“WiMax from AT&T: Does anyone know when AT&T will offer WiMax?”

June 13 at 10:40 am - Link

I'll say.... never. ;) WiMAX is the 4G solution that Sprint is embracing. AT&T, Verizon and others are going with LTE for 4G. - Kevin C. Tofel

AT&T is scared of WiMAX - it'd put pressure on them to open up their hardware and software, and they wouldn't want THAT. - Jonathan Fingas

so for those who live in north america, one need not consider the n810 WiMax edition unless one lives in baltimore, chicago or washington d.c... which is a bummer because this device would be really great if connected without WiFi hotspots. - torr

Not to mention that the service isn't live in Baltimore until September and the other two cities before EOY. The second wave of cities was announced, but no true time frame. No pricing for plans announced yet either. Oy! - Kevin C. Tofel

It's almost DOA here ... NYC was supposed to get it this year, but not looking good at all. I would much rather have a SIM based device than WiMax which will only work in certain metros - if ever. DUN FTW for now... - Jonathan Greene
