I hear you on the rumored update... while the increse in memory looks to be nice it's pretty nasty looking. I like the blackness... though the built in handle / stand is slick. Features I'd like to see are ? voice over bluetooth - I mean how the heck did Nokia not do this particularly with VOIP in mind. ? better memory swap - no browser quits ? slide out keyboard - though each time I really think I want this I consider that I use my 770 more to receive than to input info ? a slightly faster processor never hurts ? flash 7+ so we can do youtube and other streaming video sites.
