Other than that it seems to work. I agree with you on your points. For an internet tablet, the Nokia 770 software is very buggy. The browser randomly shuts down and sometimes reboots the Nokia, blinding me at night in the process :-) The video player is very poor. It seems to give random error messages on videos that it has played before and will play again in the future. It doesn't support that many video formats, and resolutions. Mplayer will play the same video that Nokia 770 will claim not a valid resolution. I don't even use the email client. Does anyone? I use a web front end to view my email. I see wasted time effort in developing software for the Nokia. The bright side is all the 3rd party software for the Nokia and that is its saving grace. If it wasn't 3rd party software, I would consider the Nokia 770 a disaster. my 3rd party software that I use: xterm ssh vnc mplayer Personally, I wish Nokia would have went with thunderbird and firefox that could be improved by the outside community. Instead, they went with buggy pieces of proprietary code that Nokia can't seem to fix on its own. My other big complaint is that the entire device has to be reflashed in order to run the new version of the OS. Why can't they update different pieces, like the browser, or the kernel? Since the browser and flash player hasn't been updated, I don't think I will update my Nokia 770. I am also watching how Nokia still supports the 770 and this will impact my decision on whether I should upgrade to the 800 or the next version down the road. If they can't update the web browser on the 770, it tells me that next year, the 800 will be in the same boat. As of now, my Nokia 770 is supported quit well by 3rd party developers!
