Actually I find the device so useful that I ended up putting up with 2 WSOD within 2 weeks on 2 separate units. But since my home entertainment, lights, and NAS, are Linux centric, the 770 has proved invaluable. Oh, also am using google talk as a sip VoIP phone, and GAIM for my IM. Can't provide enough praise for maemo-mapper running on the device. Thankfully I've gone through my 1st month with the unit, countless reboots, app installs, and the unit seems to be running like charm (IE, no WSOD)

I agree entirely. Put that feature in the next 770 update, and stabilize the browser a bit more. Considering I've never been a Pocket PC user, I've heard horror stories about people having installed more than 10 applications on those things and crippling basic functionality afterwards. Not with the 770. I could put 30+ apps on this thing and it still runs smooth as silk.
1. Become root
2. Open the file /etc/matchbox/kbdconfig in a text-editor
3. The file is usually empty. Just append the line F4=next
4. Save the file and run the command matchbox-remote -keys-reload or restart the N770
5. Enjoy the easy task switching by pressing the menu key!

Oh, and there's this hearsay about the N800's backup saving the repositories list. Why do we still have to do it by hand in xterm ?
