No rush, and please don't send anything by courier - anything but that. They charge a customs brokerage fee at the receiving end to bring it across the border - $28 to $35 and that's on top of what the shipping costs. Ouch! Unless it's something big, like tires, USPS is much better.

I can't resist posting this... sorry

Phil sent his N810 in the original box and, well, after using an N810 for years, I just couldn't help but laugh...



See that guy? You know why he looks like that?


It's because he's been wandering around for the last 20 minutes, totally lost, because the N810 STILL hasn't got a GPS fix

I mean, I love that thing, but it does have it's failings,

David...

P.S. You know why it hasn't got a fix? Yeah, when the keyboard is extended the GPS antenna is shielded by the screen... never get a decent lock that way newbies...

The unit was shipped yesterday by the US Post. Hopefully you'll get it in a couple of weeks.

Thanks again for sending this. I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of it, even if it is broken. I've always liked taking things apart; once in a while I get them back together again too

Arrive yesterday afternoon... Yay! At first I though... the screens not cracked... looks good, did he ship the wrong one? Then I tossed a battery in it and fired it up. Very pretty effect streaks of light when twisted or poked. Could almost make a video game out it by itself

Anyway, thank you very much for sending it. I still haven't figured out what to send you and Phil back, but I'm thinking. I'll come up with something weird.

As soon as I get my bike back together, yet another project, I'll start in on the disassembly. I promise lots of pictures. Should be fun.

Thanks again,

David...
