I too have noticed some rather odd time related bugs in the new firmware. After having setting and verifying the correct time immediately after installing the new firmware, I came back the next day and the time was off by something on the order of 4 hours! I am running a good deal of third party software (as frankly, the 770 isn't very useful to me by default), but none of this software ever caused any issues on the older version of the 2006 fw.
frethop Has anyone tried the handwriting recognition? Is it truly that much better?
