Has anyone succeeded in getting ARMedSlack to boot on a 770? With all the freedom granted to 770 users by Nokia I sure wish the OS was less closed off. There are a lot of components I would love to lop off of it as I don't use them.

I snickered at myself for suggesting more memory for use with a swap space but normal RAM is probably quite a bit more expensive than what's in there currently... I'm not sure about additional power consumption, etc. Is the internal memory vs. internal storage separate? (There are some great dissection pics out there which may answer this)

in the context of openembeded based systems, "primetime" means that you can install it without too much tinkreing, it will usualy continue to work after a suspend or reboot, and there's enouhg usefull apps working to be good for something more than testing buggy apps.

Talk about marketing. I live in Germany, and here even employees of electronics stores or cellphone stores usually have no clue about what a Nokia 770 is. One guy even told me "those things aren't sold in shops, you are supposed to buy one from the internet". Actually, another shop of the same chain had a 770 for sale.

I think, even though it has a quite straightforward GUI, the device is still too complicated for the average non-tech-person. I mean, hand it over to some unsuspecting subject and tell him (or her?) to set up a bluetooth connection to a cellphone.
