bigger than the hardware thumbboard on the n810, it just takes up
screen real estate while being used.
I never really tried interactive stuff like pine, but I would whip
bash out real quick and do some minor network checking (ping this,
tracepath that...) or run a simple ssh command or two on the server
(start or restart a service, f'r'instance).
It also connects right up to our VoIP server as a phone (which, if
you're comfortable wearing a goofy bluetooth headset isn't bad; I tend
not to use it unless I'm nowhere near a "real" phone).
Re: the memory slots, yeah, I keep an 8GB card in the internal slot,
and the external one is still available.
Re: the FM radio, I rarely if ever use it, but if you're into radio
it's pretty neat; you can either scan through the frequencies, or have
it download a list of local radio stations so you can navigate them by
call letters.
