The real fun comes if you use the 770/n800 as a middle man between your laptop/desktop and phone. Create your own ringtones and backgrounds and load them right up. The heck with paying 1.99 for a 15 second capture, or someones bad anime artwork. *grin* For even more "fun" use fuser (to the developers, thanks you got it working faster than I could) then if you have openssh installed (windows, mac or Unix, I've tested windows and linux) you can mount a drive/dir of your desktop and use it as if it were a local drive. Right at the moment I have a 770 that thinks it has 600GB of drive space, and I'm 40 miles away from the parent box. James
