It seems like such a glaring oversight to not have native ogg support on the 770 yet.

Having followed the same discussion on the P910 platform, the general consensus there (of course, after weeks and weeks of online debate) was that the ogg-format is more demanding on processor cycles and could have as much as a 10% decrease in battery life, compared to MP3.

Who knows, Nokia might have thought of that. Stranger things have happened before...
