Thank you for the comments, its unfortunate that no-one has done any kind of benchmarking on the devices, even with "similarities" between OS2007 and OS2007HE and the microb browser which works great but struggles from time to time on the 770! I appreciate the advice though and am glad to hear that OS2008 feels faster than the current n800 OS as it is always a concern that even with a newer device (n800) an even newer (and bigger) OS will cause it to lag - seems to be the way with computers in general...

Thank you.
