Thank you for the response!

I understand then that even though Nokia has a link to buy the Nokia 770 with the new OS, these are not shipping yet?

I looked all over the Nokia site and saw the pictures and the Flash infomercial related to Tablet 2006. The specs presented to a new buyer are those of the new OS so I assumed that by buying a new unit they would be shipping it right away with the new OS. I have been a PDA enthusiast for a long time and have seen in the past a press release ahead of the actual release and availability for sale but in this case it appears to be available now from the information I saw on the Nokia site.

What bothers me most is not that new users would be getting the update first but that the date the update will be available is so vague (2nd Quarter 2006). There is a 45 day window into which they could post the update.

Now, if the update isn't ready why have they gone as far as updating the site as if it were? Were I to order a Nokia 770 from Nokia today, would I then recieve a e-mail stating that they are not ready to ship or would I be shipped a unit with the old OS? This is in essence what I understand you are saying.

All I am really interested in is having a Nokia Rep say when exactly the update will be available be it tomorrow or next month.

I have seen it before where a company is more worried about the next sale than making sure past purchasers are rewarded for loyalty. An example being Compaq with the ipaq updates that were available in new systems for months before they released a update for existing owners (and in some cases charged for the update).

Now, my question is, am I the only user who desperately wants OS 2006???????????????
