There's been no fanfare... seems very bizarre on Nokia's part to be releasing OS 2006 without any song and dance - are you sure you're not downloading the Beta OS 2006?

Would prefer a direct link to the firmware if possible, mainly because I don't want to have to keep re-downloading it if I flash multiple times (the page for the "manual" update doesn't exist so I assume it's possible to update from a local file once a download link becomes available). I'll try updating later this evening.

If you've updated already, what's does "Version" now say in Tools->Control Panel->Device->About product? For OS Beta 2006 it says "0.2006.22-21" (and also says BETA in the bottom left of the task bar and again in the system tray). Do you see "BETA" on the home page of your newly updated 770?
