I suppose the upgraders will be happy to snatch up this hardware enhancement. The increased CPU and RAM capabilities afforded by ever-reducing chip costs should be quite useful.

I just hope it doesn't leave legacy 770 owners rotting on a no-longer-supported platform. I myself have no need for a webcam.

Sure, applications will probably remain binary-compatible, so long as any OS upgrade is made available to the 770. But who's to say that newer applications (or even the new OS itself) will run at acceptable performance levels on the reduced capabilities of the older hardware?

It's the old "spend more money to upgrade, or be left behind" trick that Microsoft mastered and on which computer hardware vendors have been capitalizing ever since. Cell phone manufacturers have been quick to catch on, though, so I guess this move by Nokia should have come as no surprise to the more seasoned of us. I'm as quick as anyone to jump to upgrade, but in this case, I'm staying put.

Well, enough cynicism! Good luck to all. Let's hope that, in this case, innovation and legacy support can find a way to coexist.
