Re: N810 is totally useless.

If you don't care about the fan club, then why be antagonistic with them on their own forum. Re-read your post and don't tell me there wasn't a nicer way of asking if there's any way to get more...

Re: Firefox Mobile BETA 1

Honestly, if this touch UI can't stand up to someone who has previously used/touched/seen an iPhone, then we have bigger problems than just "should we just have written 'swipe left for tabs' under...

She's had a iPhone (1st gen) for over a year now, FWIW. So touch UIs are not foreign to her either.

Re: Firefox Mobile BETA 1

Yes, but there's a BIG difference between identification and instruction. Iconography is about identification.

Again, we're focusing too much on icons- or text-only, and not on whether these icons...

Re: Amazon MP3 app for the Tablet - wish

Why? http://music.nokia.com.

Amazon is a US-based company, hence their US-centric view on cell platforms. I'm not even sure what the international state of AmazonMP3 is. If it's mostly a NA...

Yeah, check the wiki (or p.36 of the manual for the tablet). There's very specific codecs, bitrates and resolutions of WMV that the tablet will play.
