Yup, but does anyone remember the old rule of thumb for swap - 1.5 times the amount of memory? Just a WAG, but I'd bet you've probably never used more than half of that 128MB swap.

BTW, I think the comment about 1GB swap is a poorly worded statement on Nokia's part. The text in question reads:

"Option for extended virtual memory (RS-MMC up to 1 GB)"

I suspect this is really supposed to be two different lines of specifications, and wasn't intended to mean 1GB swap is possible - just that (a) you can have virtual memory, and (b) the 770 is limited to 1GB MMC expansion.

Brad.
