I sure hope that the 770 development is continued to an extent at least... I bought two of them and have found them very useful... java issues and flash are annoying, but I would like to see 2007HE updated.

I bought mine off woot.com and they reported selling 8000 (yep, thats thousand) in their 24 hour period. The other resellers that have dropped their pricing have reported high sales for the 770.

I hope Nokia will take notice.

A store in Canada got 1500 and sold them in a week or two. A coworker just bought one for $145 (about $400 less than I spent after taxes, duty, etc. (got it in the U.S.)).

So now. Why should I care about OS2007 Hacker Edition? (I've been out of the loop for a while until I helped him with his new 770 and forgot how much I liked it.)

In the last few weeks thousands of the 770 showed up all over US sites. Almost all priced at $139.99 US$ So I bought 2. Since one goes to my geeky daughter, I may have to buy a third if these prices hold.

It wasn't the price for me (I can still buy the N800 today in a blink of an eye)- its due to the 770 with the Hacked 2007OS gives you the best of both worlds... I am new to the 770- I was a Dell Windoze Mobile user- however as of late I have moved back to Linux; Im getting a GP2x soon; maybe it is down to the price- Im about to become a dad and my wife is going to stop working full time and my pay will support everyone.

My point about why dont more people nhelp my the new verson of the 2007HE is because Linux is build on the idea of everyone who can- can work together and instead of sitting and asking "can you do this for me?" why not ask: Why can't I do this myself?

Most of the help people need in the n00b forums can be google'd- however why have a n00b area at all?

I know this much- if I was a programmer who could help towards making the update to 2007HE I would. Lo I am only just starting to learn python- I started as a network\wifi admin type. Altho Im a Optian...

ApApparently its going to be the latest updated 2007 OS so, a lot of
bug fixes, as well as possibly the choice to use the beta Mozilla
browser rather than the Opera one. Also, I've been running
OS2007HE the old one, and I'm hoping they fix the cover on/off
thing to shut off network services like the old OS2006.parently its going to be the late updated 2007 OS so, a lot of bug fixes, as well as possibly the choice to use the beta Mozilla browser rather than the Opera one.

I am a programmer, and a very successful one in my chosen industry (gaming and entertainment) but contributing to 2007 HA edition for the N770 is way beyond what I have found through regular searches. I would gladly help but it seems a somewhat closed source and very exclusive club which I'm sure that if it were to become open, many would contribute to.

Its just a shame it's so closed. I guess its best just to be happy with what you can get, unless you really think you can do something to change it.

You cheeky smeg!

Hmm but good question. lo I guess N could stand for Nokia (however I know it stands for N-Series; which of cause the Nokia 770 isn't apart of. However I do have a question can the N800 play N-Gage games seeing as thats what Nokia made out with all of the N-Series systems???

Hmmm BitTorrent methinks
