[*]I'm a little disappointed with the media formats supported: mainly because OGG isn't there

1. Don't know if anyone's tried the power button menu options. There's one there for offline mode which turns off the bluetooth and wireless - mail spots this and doesn't try to connect. Should be good for power preservation.
2. I found that POP mail is a little better handling messages deleted on the server, though of course doesn't handle folders. Still not perfect though.
3. I installed the xTerm from http://770.fs-security.com/xterm/ and found that the web browser seems to be leaving processes lying around. As does Chess. Killing the browser processes (12meg each) solved the memory problems I was having.
4. I have a BT OpenZone account. When connected to one of their hotspots I had real problems getting any Web browser connection. Anyone seen anything like this?
5. I have a .Mac account, using the browser I could actually use the Web Interface, something I've never been able to do with any other PDA.

3. Imap support is not up to scratch. It works, but loss of folders and no delete of messages from another client is not good enough. IMHO.

I also experienced the file manager crashing. Thanks for the tip on moving the d-pad. I kept trying to change the folder with the stylus and just wasn't fast enough.

nokia770 tech support is checking into this, generally. ie: how/if
real videos stream at BBC site, and at realone site. should have
response in couple days, and will pass on.
Different question, for one with experience in such matters:
Is it usual that we'll get rom updates that address issues? or should we
expect to have to buy a new 770revised device to see issues addressed in
the future?

The device has flash memory which is loaded into "real" executable memory at boot. Re-flashing the operating system does just that. The flash image the device loads when you turn it on is replaced.
It seems like a good idea to keep a note on the things you change (or delete to make space.) The note is in the documents area that gets saved... I also "save" the packages I install from WiFi into a folder on the MMC so I can easily "restore" them after a re-flash. (First "save" them and then use the file manager to "install" them...)
I have seen that even supported videos will fail if they are not in mulitples of 16 so far as resolution.
Sorry if this duplicates, but I don't have time to read all the fine responses yet.

Huh? Where/when do you see this on the 770? Are you having PPC flashbacks?
