+1 to the casualty list. Luckily I was still under warranty - so sent that in to Palco. It'll be nice if I can get a N800 back.

Got 2 770's and 2 n800's in my family - Never saw a WSOD on eitherof the 770's.
The first (to replace my stolen lifedrive) May 2007 - now running 2007HE
The second a christmas gift for my son in college - Dec 2007 - running 2006 - because he could get xournal running in the 2007he.

I just heard back from Nokia:
"Thank you for e-mailing the Nokia Care Contact Center.
We understand your request with regards to the repair/replacement status of your Nokia 770 Internet Tablet.
Our records do indicate that your tablet cannot be repaired as you have stated. However, at the present time, your tablet will not be replaced by either the Nokia N800, or the Nokia N810 Internet Tablets, but with a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet."
Bummer. I wonder where they're going to find a 770 to send me.

These are the people in the executive resolution center.

My advice is to keep checking back with them weekly and really show your disgust when you hit that 1 month period and keep asking for status updates. My bet is you'll get your N800 like I did.

Sheesh.
Then three weeks passed at the "Awaiting Replacement Device" phase of my repair status. They did a really lame delaying tactic which I called them on, and now lo and behold they are sending me an N800.
I'm actually kind of surprised they aren't sending an N810, because I keep hearing that the N800 is out of stock everywhere, but I'm not complaining because I prefer the N800 because of the two full-sized SD slots.So, I'm faxing in their release form to get my N800. Yay!

I then always insert the LCD side to the side that has the cardboard insert in the N770 pouch. That gives the LCD a little more protection. In addition, since I have the N800 pouch inside of the N770 pouch, I even have some room to put in my spare (old N770) battery along any spare SD cards. ;-) Low budget and it works.

You may still get an N810. That would be even better.
I'm encouraged by reports that other users have been sent an N800 as a replacement for their 770's. Cool beans! I wonder what will happen. Either way, I hope I get a Nokia back soon. I'm starting to get the shakes from withdrawal.
