The short happy life of the Nokia 770
 

Re: The short happy life of the Nokia 770
 

That's interesting..... I saw that same table just a couple days ago, and I don't remember seeing a "sales finished" under the 770... I doubt I would have missed something that major.

I guess I'm not too surprised, had to be done eventually.... but....but.....I'm a bit sad :(

Give me a moment alone :'(

ROFL

The title of this thread hits this situation correctly.
Toooo new to be old.

What makes me angry is that they continued to produce and sell a product that had many unfixed bugs long after they had for all practical purposes end of lifed it.

Re: The short happy life of the Nokia 770
 

I think Nokia should now do the rightful thing and completely open up the 770 so the community can maintain/update it.

Re: The short happy life of the Nokia 770
 

Would be nice, but, unfortunately, they don't own the rights to a lot of the binary code that's on the device.

Re: The short happy life of the Nokia 770
 

What binary? The OS... that's understandable. The firmware? They *should* own that.

I think he had the awful Opera browser in mind.

Let's hope MicroB on the 810 works better than on the 770...

Re: The short happy life of the Nokia 770
 

Hardly. More like drivers for the Bluetooth and Wifi, plus certain hildon and osso tools. There isn't much Nokia can do about this as they don't hold the licenses for most of the binaries.

I think you're confusing the two a little here. Understandable when comparing a mobile platform to a regular PC, but still.

Re: The short happy life of the Nokia 770
 

it was mentioned somewhere that it should not be a big problem to build packages of microb for 2007HE. Any news about that? Better browser is all I need now for "satisfying use" of 770 (2007HE). I don't expect much more any longer...but I wish I could get a N800 for 150 euros here in Finland!

Re: The short happy life of the Nokia 770
 

The N770 MicroB package is working in 2007HE, as is the 770 package of mplayer.

Don't have one to try off hand (they wanted a rediculous amount of shipping to send one to me, so I'll stick with my USB 100M's thanks) but the USB LAN package described in the Wiki contains all of the known USB network adapter kernel modules and automatically loads them for you, so compiling/etc shouldn't be required (keep in mind that it only works for OS2008... but that's Chinook and Diablo).
