I've been browsing around here and some other places, and it sounded like the 770 was a pretty cool gadget. I've been looking for some kind of gadget to take around on trips that was easier to carry then a laptop, but would give me the same browsing experience, and maybe play some simple games too. Sounds like the 770 will do the trick much cheaper and smaller then anything else I've found.
So, I picked one up at a local Fry's earlier today. It's been acting flaky since I started it up. The web browser will crash frequently - when I try to load a website, it freezes up and then restarts itself. It'll run around the web fine for a while, then all of the sudden, it's gone. When it starts back up, it loads the webpage I was trying to load when it crashed no problem. And it's done it for several different pages. Sometimes it does this while using the other programs, like image viewer and video player. Also, sometimes it will refuse to see my wireless network. I have to restart it before it will see it again.
I haven't done anything funny to it yet. No new programs, root, R&D mode, or anything like that. It came with firmware 3.2005.51-13.
Anyone seen anything like this? Recommendations? Should I try to upgrade, or reflash 2005.51-13? Or just send it back? All of the hardware, screen etc, is fine, as far as I can tell.
