A few questions about my hand held:
1. Anyone get or seen the GPS actually work? I have had it for close to a month now and haven't seen one signal (It is enabled). I don't think the GPS Corresponds with XOHM (which is not officially announced in my area yet)
2. I really like the integrated Instant Messaging client, but the default setups for this client are Google Talk, SIP, Jabber and Nokia Chat (Nokia Chat? WTF!?) Has anyone successfully added AIM and Windows Messenger contacts? I have, however, was able to add my Gizmo5 account via the SIP setup and can place calls (haven't tested the video yet). The Gizmo contacts has not showed up in the maemo instant messaging client though.
3. Anyone know the POP3/IMAP and SMTP server info for the XOHM.com email address?

1. Speedtests via https://mobilespeeedtest.com are consistently 3.8 - 4

3. Occcassionally or quite frequently the XOHM connection drops and subsequently reconnects. Even in areas with great signal strength.
4. I also experience dropped connections with subsequent reconnects to the XOHM network when walking long distances, driving, or taking public transportation (all above ground).
I guess the 3G modem in the next tablet won't have this problem...

I am hoping that xohm will be up in Arizona/Phoenix/Tempe when I next visit, that would persuade me to buy an n810w!

Mister Ecua:
1. GPS should work, it may take a long time to get a first fix, and you need to have a good view of the sky.
2. RTComm Beta will give you AIM and MSN.
3. no idea.
