I consider myself an average user with both Linux and Windows experience. It's hard for me to understand the frustration and criticism I read over and over again, not only in this thread. I begin to wonder why I'm not dissatisfied with my Nokia 770. Why do I think the mail client is simple, but still useful? Why do I love surfing and dont complain about some missing plugins? Why do I enjoy watching my DVD collection on the 770 and dont complain about it not beeing able to deliver full resolution at 30Hz? Why wouldnt I ever expect the device to open *.doc attachments? Why am I content with a concept that offers little out of the box but a whole lot of 3rd party software?

I really dont know what makes me so different from other consumers. Maybe our inhouse advertising was better when I bought the 770 last year; it said quite clearly that I'd get a 800x480 touch screen for surfing and reading mails. Period. It was only afterwards that I discovered the endless possibilities of the device and was really, really pleasantly surprised. So it might be a matter of advertising after all.
