I would be happy if Nokia would work on stability issues. The pre-packaged opera does not work as smooth as someone would expect of a consumer device (you harly can browser for 2 hours without restarting it several times) and the from-time-to-time crashes I am sure everybody has seen are not really ... well ... what I would expect from a Linux powered device. EIther Nokia's software stack isn't polished enough (the N770 came too late anyway) or there are some detect-crash-technologies which don't work right. lg Clemens 2006/12/8, Ted Zlatanov <tzz at bu.edu>: > On 8 Dec 2006, dking at ketralnis.com wrote: > > >> If the 870 had a pull-out keyboard, that would be compelling enough > >> for me.
