As I stated earlier, I'm here with the model # for anyone that wants to know.
The chip is a Samsung KAL00100EA-DGYY

Forget about pocketpctechs - apparently they couldn't even open the Nokia let alone upgrade the memory...

How on earth could they not open it? They can figure out how to expand memory on all those devices but can't open it? Hmm, well either way, as I said it's not something that can be done at home with out an X-Ray for BGA as I believe it was Miho mentioned

If these conditions are met, then there is an opportunity for someone to do upgrades.

Easier to wait for OS 2006, with the swap on memory card options.

I would have gladly paid that for a more stable device.
The 770 certainly wasn't marketed as a premarket unit by Nokia.

CompUSA had the 770 displayed very prominently for a while (together with the new Nxx series), though I haven't visited them recently.

The point about power consumption is true, but I'd rather have the memory personally. I do hope Nokia optimizes the OS for the next release.
