What exactly do you mean by 'hard reset'? Will removing the battery for >10 secs wipe it back to factory state? I thought you had to flash the device for that. I was planning on picking up a spare battery but hate to be on a short time limit if I'm switching it out for a fresh one.

To better answer the question, no I don't believe that it will reset to factory if you remove it from power for that long. The type of storage it uses should be non-volatile which means it can retain data without being powered (similar to a memory stick, and the opposite of RAM).

A fix for the newer, smaller, but nearly unobtainable connectors used on the n810
MicroB to MiniB connector - for much less than Nokia charges (also allows host mode mod http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=14092
)
They also have a power adapter (the ultra-tiny to the old Nokia power connector which is much more common):
(I updated the links - these work for me)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...T21EQ&v=glance
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...T21EQ&v=glance
In case these break again,
The Amazon ASINs (do search in cell phones) are:
B000Y032X8
B000F0PHV2
(Note handling is charged once, so it is cheaper to get multiples to save on shipping).

i still dont understand the switch to micro usb , if you look at the ends there isnt a whole hell of a lot of size diference , and if the were concerned about internal space , how about knockinf off the dedicated power plug and charge via USB like should have been done since the 770

I've been using Palm OS for the past 5yrs and in the Palm world a 'hard reset' means wiping all apps and personal info from the device and restoring it to factory state. Newer Palms use NVFS too so that all data insn't lost if the battery dies.

If you slide the display up, the micro-B takes about 40% of the available thickness, 60% for the slot. A mini-B wouldn't fit. Same with the power connector. It also has to mount to the circuit board and be bonded strong enough to not break off if someone tries to push the cable in upside down.
The n810 is THIN. Perhaps too thin, but they still have the n800.

i never said it had to be mini , but just pointing out the piss poor thought behind the design in general , why have two separate plugs , when one can accomplish both uses... sorta like a guy havin two johnsons , one for urination and one for procreation.... just doesnt make sense

The switch from mini to micro makes perfect sense. The overall physical envelope IS a little smaller, plus this change represents a consolidation of connector formats in the industry. Several companies that had previously relied on proprietary connectors and/or a mix of types are now reducing that nightmare down to micro usb for the most part.
As for having both micro usb and a separate power plug, I can't speculate much on the benefit of any information, but given that it should be cheaper for a company in the long run to consolidate those as well, I'm guessing there was some sense to the decision to keep both.
And
at your analogy.

Could you add to the tips how to access the memory card of the n810 from a Windows PC via Wi-Fi ? Still haven't figured this one out.

If you have a screen protector, cut a small piece to cover the N810's camera lens and protect it from scratches especially when it is going in/out of the car mount.
