Get the iPhone because it will have better software support, the OS will be stable and it work like it is supposed to. The built-in support for google search and maps is really nice. Also, it will have better resale value.

By June something else great will be announced and we could put off the iPhone purchase and wait for that (repeat until we die).
Alternatively live for now!
Chartreuse, I'm sure people on here can help solve the problems you are having. But if you have the option of returning the 770 and getting a refund then assuming the price was fairly close to the N800 then returning it seems a no brainer to me.

Yes.
If you can't return it, the 770 is a fine machine and you'll be pleased with the long list of applications available for it (and the list grows longer every month.)

"The 770 with OS2006 is still supported by Nokia.
OS2007 will not be released for the 770.
Unfortunately we are not at the point where we can ship the same
OS release for multiple hardwares, though we are moving in that direction."
That quote makes me think that the software library growth rate will approach singularity in mear nanoseconds.

Yeah man, return the thing if you can and get the n800. Even if it cost a little more...it just makes sense to do that.

Well I hope this is a true...Nokia should work toward that because the 770 comunity is what made the n800 possible. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

We're not dealing with a Microsoft PocketPC here.

It will cost a fortune.
It will be stable because you won't be able to do much with it - other than add a few custom widgets, what you see is what you get.
If you want an expensive compromised bling phone, wait a year and save for the iPhone. If you want something useful that works here and now, get the N800. And then get someone to buy the iPhone for you for Christmas - after all it's got Bluetooth so it can get your N800 onto the internet when you're out and about (albeit very slowly as the iPhone doesn't support 3G...)

Considering that the N800 and iPhone have just been announced, what are your opinions on just returning the 770 and getting one of these others as an upgrade? Is Nokia abandoning the 770, or do you think we'll ever see an OS 2007 for it?
