True, one has to flash to OS2008He to try. On the N8x0, I have reverse cloning, i.e., backup the whole OS to mmc and restore from mmc back to internal flash, http://forums.internettablettalk.com...784#post740784. I have NOT spent time on 770 for the same thing. I used the backup/restore. Then I flashed to OS 2008He. Then I do it very very very slowly, 1st waited for a solid 2 minutes, if it did not crash, it likely will not crash. And finished cloning to mmc and make bootmenu, then I booted up from mmc, it is ROCK stable and fast! Sure, not as stunning as a N900, but also, your investment is also $400 vs $40, 1/10 of an N900!

If you dont mind about the audio/skype/garnetVM, 2008He opens up a ton of software compares to 2007/2006.

Oh, I suspected that Skype doesn't work on the N770 with OS2008HE, mainly because of the reported audio problems. I have my N700 set up very nicely with Skype and Gizmo5 on OS2007HE. Recently Skype removed its Nxxx apps so I was worried that if I tried this install, I wouldn't be able to get Skype back. (Did anyone happen to save the install package?)

Would it be possible to:

1. Dump the entire install in the N770 to MMC
2. Copy the MMC to a computer hard drive
3. Install OS2008HE and copy it to the MMC
4. Copy the MMC to a computer hard drive
5. Copy OS2007HE install back to MMC
6. Restore OS2007HE to N770
7. Copy OS2008HE to MMC
8. Boot to OS2007HE without MMC
9. Boot to OS2008HE with MMC

?

Thanks!
