Whenever an 820 or 830 comes out, it seems to me that my N800 will continue to trundle along with the pack. Thank you, Nokia!
Exactly. And like I said, community support may carry old products even further, providing that
1) drivers are free
2) community is large enough
Community grows all the time, and hopefully Nokia sees that free drivers are in its own interest (because prolonged community support and vibrant after market are actual selling points for new devices). I really want to see a OpenEmbedded-based OS (or something) being the de facto OS for 770 in the future.
