MODS: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLY PLEASE CHANGE THIS THREAD'S TITLE!!

<ahem>

While I share the OPs sentiments, I /keep/ logging on and getting all excited - thinking that this is the "2006 announcement" thread.

Thankyou
jaycee

Actually I can beat that Andrew... I'm in Toronto, so I had to go to the states just to get one. If you haven't been to Michigan, I don't recommend it.

They're starting to appear in stores up here obviously as a reseller type of thing. I can understand phones being limited to regions given their nature, but a tablet? C'mon.

Ok... Now I'm pissed... I come over to this site and see (omg) the new 2006 OS is out!!! YAY!!! I rush to my computer and turn it on and go to the Nokia 770 software update authentification screen (nokiausa.com) where it says quote:

Download the latest version of the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet's software.

Latest version: 5.2006.13-7 (April 18, 2006).

So I rush and put in my serial number and start the OS download and patch my device... I turn on my device in much anticipation... sameness... without my files because they are now history...

I check back the website to the download page and it says the new 2005 update (wtf?)...

My conclusion: Nokia updated the front authentification page to trick you into thinking the 2006 OS is out because the version number (5.2006.13-7) has 2006 in it... Sigh... Now I feel like a complete idiot and have to install EVERYTHING again... Oh maybe I'll just won't use my 770 until the new REAL OS comes out... *Sulks in self-pity*

Pah! That's nothing. I had to get a friend in the states to get me one and mail it down to New Zealand since there is no chance of getting one here

Actually I think I am still waiting for an email from Nokia saying the 770 has been released! I signed up again for the emails for the 2006 version but I imagine I will see it on here first before Nokia actually get around to emailing me themselves given their past efforts.

There was an os update in 2006, but it was not the '2006 OS'
