With all you guys being so free and forthcoming with your combined wisdom and Software abilities, I think that I too should chime in my 2-cent worth.

I had a Nokia 770 since January 2006. I have updated it as and when necessary. I have installed beta Software modules, half tested Software modules, mis-programmed Software modules and latest, but not the least , the FM Radio deb available for the N800 (it does not / cannot work of course).

Honestly, so far (cross my black heart), I have had no issues with non stop boot loops, no WSODs, no battery meter going crazy issues, no battery not charging issues, no waking up screaming in the middle of the night issues.

I have installed, messed around and uninstalled Vi, becomeroot, Xterm themes, half-baked PIM programs, network connectivity files, Chat Modules, Weather Apps etc. I had even installed the most recent defunct Weather App. I had almost bashed the screen real hard when the IT bounced out of my hands a few months ago. No damage so far.

Even after all this my Nokia 770 has been much better to me than any Windows PDA and trust me I have or have had the opportunity to mess around with HP Ipaq, Dell Axim, Palm Tungsten and Life-Drive as well. None of them will ever come closer to the Nokia ITs by way of Resolution, Open Source, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth etc. The ' Life Drive ' could not even connect to the AP that was right in front of it. The ' Axim ' could not do that either even though it had the latest Wi-Fi Hardware. The Ipaq was so very hard to use.

I think many of us simply expect the Nokia ITs to do a whole lot more than it already does.
