Jakub, Thank you for the information regarding e-mail. I'll try it out today. I would, however, recommend including an option to 'select all.' Again, this just saves the user from dragging across many e-mails. The option would work for whatever directory the user is in such as the 'inbox.' I missed Jonathan's response yesterday but the ability to schedule backups, like I do with my Palm, would be great. I use BackupBuddy and backup my data every time I turned off my Palm. My Palm died which was the driver for me to look for an alternative. It is here that one starts to discuss what should be included with the product and what should be a purchased product. BackupBuddy is a purchased product and I would be willing, for a full featured product, to pay for the same or similar features for the Nokia. For an included product, the program should enable one to backup any files on the device, whether flash or card. Backing up of all programs and data should also be included. The issue of cost then moves to the depth and breadth of the features and the ability to, for example, selectively choose which files to retrieve, performing incremental versus full backups, etc. Regarding 12- 24-hour time, I recommend, for the next update, you provide the ability of the user to choose which they desire. Military personnel in the US, for example, use a 24-hour clock as do many international corporations. Visitors to the US may see the N800 and decide to purchase one at a local CompUSA and be disappointed that it uses US time.

I >currently use Gmail in the browser. Multiple selections are possible and rather easy. Just drag the pen over several emails in a row. And then you can add more by dragging over another list of emails. It supports multiple selections ;) Guess a video with instructions would help here ... --jakub
