Clay -

No need to accuse us of being unsympathetic, we all understand the pain of having a bricked device - but we are not a "bricked 770" support group - what are we supposed to say, "Feel better mate, look on the bright side, at least you didn't buy a PSP?"

What is the appropriate response for us to give you. What would you like us to say? We're just trying to find answers and share experiences. And *we* are not the type to feel angry and start blaming other people when we have a problem. *We* includes you, yes?

Stop with the "Nokia did us wrong" attitude.

You already sound like you've already given up, picked up the old AK47, and are ready to give it a good sweep around the room. So let's take the chip off the shoulder and work together before you start turning into a forum troll. The 2006 OS update has been out for less than 24 hours so please, calm down.

Have you tried an Ubuntu installation and the linux flasher-2.0 through VMWare? Seems like it works.
