I still use mine . They sell them on amazon for $35 .
If you flash the kernel for sdhc support you can take out the
chip of an old mmc card, then put the chip of a new sdhc
in its place . I have done it twice . Using scandisk ultra 32gb
cards sold from amazon . You can buy the old mmc cards there
also for about $1 or $2 . Mine runs 3 to 4 hours, depending on
what I do with it . I have watched videos on it . The java based
770 mediaconveter from nokia projects works pretty good .
Use the high quality setting, not very high . Also, I wouldn't select
crop . For net I can get on open hotspots and wep just fine .
But, wpa1 and wpa2 give me problems on and off . You are not
going to enjoy facebook or youtube on this thing . But, if you
want a little faster surfing, I have used the nokia links2 browser
that the links two site offers . You have to install a couple other
debs two like xvkb . For some reason they didn't make a menu
Icon for links2 so you have to activate it from the term .
I have been using OS2006se . I have used them all, and 06se
with flashed kernel is the best . I have also used one of Qoles
early Easy Debain scripts, and made a deb for using debian on
the 770 . When you select fluxbox, or lxde from the menu it kills
maemo and loads a fullscreen flux or lxde . They both run pretty
good . Kde ran okay, but didn't really give you any advantage
to trade with the lag . I managed to get xine to play mp3s from
within debian also . But the main OS does that just fine .
And, Debian Lenny is the newest debian that will install on
the 770 due to the old 770 kernel . And one day debian will
delete the armel iso's for lenny, since debian wheezy will hit
stable soon . For any linux user out there that want lenny for
770 let me know . I have every thing you need on public access
google drive . And, I could write up some short instructions .
If you already have a flashed kernel, or atleast a 2gb card
"pref 4" this would be easy to test . And easy to remove . Its
in deb format so any changes made can be undone .
But, it needs to be ran on OS2006 .
Its kinda of a novelty seeing lxde running on it .
But, I didn't make an exit back to maemo, option .
So, you have to hold the power button for 2 or 3 sec and
power back on to get maemo back . In one of the scripts there
is and option you can comment out so that you still get the
power off / lock screen option when you press the power
button . But, when running on a 220Mhz arm, and showing
that it can load google on firefox every bit of power is needed .
Other wise people might fall asleep .
