there has to be a really good reason for this (such as "OS2007 doesnt fit the 770s memory" or such), otherwise i take this personal. they kick in my face.
The N800 is different hardware - new CPU with floating point support and other features, webcam, Bluetooth 2.0 - so the new firmware isn't likely to be compatible with the 770 hardware. That doesn't mean it isn't possible to build a version of OS2007 targetted for the 770, maybe that will happen in time but I guess Nokia have been busy getting it ready for the N800.

The OMAP2420 CPU in the N800 is more power efficient than the OMAP1710 in the 770, so it may be that power consumption is roughly the same in both devices (the additional memory will draw more power, as will the camera etc.).
