Newb to forum, Newb to Axim, Newb to PDAs...TONS OF QUESTIONS! :)

Well thought, like most, my first post should be in the newbie forum so here it goes:

Got my Axim Advanced w/ 2002 today (used) and got some questions about it:

How do you turn it off (just the power button?)

I have 5 black half-blobs on the bottom (which looks like it is because of the backlight) of the screen..whats up?

Can I just leave the thing in the charger overnight or should I unplug it/the charger or what?

How come when sometimes Im putting a media file on it, it sometimes said its full yet Ive put nothing on it (maybe when I run programs? - dunno..)

Speaking of programs, how do you quit out of them besides Dell's little switcher program on the top...I cant find any other way - X just minimizes it in the background...

How can I find complete system specs for it (like if its a 250 or 255) was there like a production point where the newer ones starting coming? - edit: I have the Intel PXA255 - whats the difference between this one the and 250?) Im also running firmware AO2 - what are the benefits of the newer firmware updates?

Any other tips or suggestion (programs or otherwise) to make? What brand of SD cards do you recommend? I got a wireless router and wireless CF card on the way, both Dlink (I know some think they suck, but Ive had no problems with them in the past) Im looking at a Panasonic SD card on eBay since it didnt have any problems from happycheesecakes website - but any others that are error free with the Axim? - looking for 256+ in size..

ALSO - what kind of screen protector do you all recommend? Im not using any right now, but dont really want to scratch the screen either...and what kind of case? looking for tin - but will go with the one that protects the best without adding a lot of size..

Thanks a lot and hopefully this is the first of many posts here...

As you can see, Im really new to all of this...
