It's not a phone.
Well sue me for mispeaking. BTW, nokia's website lists it as a phone, so does their tech support. And I did my research.

IMO, you should have been able to figure out it was the device for you either before you bought it or within a few hours of buying it. If it wasn't, you should have returned it then.
Their email app is buggy. I didn't try it in the new one, because I CAN'T USE THE NEW FLASH! Got it? Won't set up with the phone, so I can't use it. I didn't expect the original email app to bre so buggy, email is like a simple task to implement. I also expected them to be able to view MS word documents, seeing as how it is the most popular document format and everyone else supports it.

Umm, no it doesn't have an easy fix. Apparently you have to root your Nokia, something I have no desire to do. Besides, I expect something I pay that much money for to be fixed by the VENDOR, not ME. IT's called service. We sort of demand that here in the US. Apparently you don't. And I already said, there isn't one bug, there are two that I know if so far.

I don't think the 770 is perfect. Far from it. But I knew what I was getting when I bought it. You should have, too. If you didn't, you have no one to blame but yourself.
I expected the email feature to work, but it has a terrible problem of hiding all your mail from you. And that's not even getting into the two new bugs (phone and time) that I discovered within ten minutes of flashing. If I find 2 that quickly, I'm sure there are dozens more to be found as well. I never thought it was perfect either. But I did expect it to do the things it was supposed to do well. And I didn't expect the update to break things. Being unhappy with that isnt' unrealistic.
