I stand corrected. It sounds like the first batch of 770s was pretty solid as there weren't many issues. As Nokia scaled up production to meet demand, a noticeable number of defective units got mixed in. Not sure if Nokia solved that problem, but I'm betting the oldest and the very newest tablets are less of an issue for folks. I likely got one from the first batch, but it might be difficult to determine if the newer units are truly new or just have been on the shelf for a while.
