Generally I think the problems are overblown. Perhaps it was the case with the first Maemo releases, but I really experience very little of these problems. I certainly have no Wi-Fi connectivity problems or any issues with the browser. I also have crammed in a lot of community supplied applications, and have had minimal problems with those. Overall I'm very satisfied. Perhaps I don't experience many of the problems some people experience, because I shut down any application I'm not using. I rarely run into RAM problems, because of this habit, that I acquired in the old days when computers still had very little in the way of resources. Hacking and customizing the unit has been not as tedious as I might have expected at first, as there is a great amount of info supplied in the wiki sections of Maemo as well as here and on users' blogs.

There are a lot of things Nokia could do to improve the user experience and interface, but as it stands now, it does what its supposed to do pretty well (except for the IMAP in the mail client) right out of the box.

btw, I wouldn't even bother with any adobe files. I work in the graphic industry, and I wouldn't even think of using the 770 for intensive image displaying or rendering. As for .jpgs, .pngs, giffs, and othe web based standards, the 770 displays quite well. Flash has no problems, other than the inability to display flash video. But that may change in the future. But lets not forget that the processor isn't a 64bit monster. I'm satisfied with its performance within the restrictive parameters of a handheld.

I've experienced no sound problems. The internet radio works quite well and sounds excellent with my Bose Quiet Comfort headphones :-)
