If I am given the option to select one of the above I would select " Take the cash and run ". From what I know and understand, Nokia is still using all of us a Beta tester for their Nokia 770 and N800 Hardware. I have a Nokia 770, and only After the numerous initial issues did it settled down.

The N800 on the other hand seems to have started off with a bang, a great endless reboot Loop, a missing Hard Slip Cover, not having the option to turn off ( cos it turns itself on randomly ). The funny thing is that the endless reboot happens just by adding an RSS feed. :eek: :eek:

This itself should prove the quality of the Hardware. I think , now I totally understand why I try not to buy anything Korean. Hyundai car anyone :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

So we undergo all this pain just to have two good speakers ? A slightly better looking display or a better UI ?

IBM did not learn from its mistakes ( ignoring the Intel 80286 ), Compaq did not learn from its mistakes ( think of DEC, remember Compaq killing its DEC Alpha Chip ), INTEL did not learn from its mistakes ( gobbling up companies left and right but not making use of the available intelligentsia and their abilities, and thus has AMD nipping at its behind).

So what makes us think that Nokia will learn to do better, from its IT ?:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Right, wrong, good, bad, intentional or indifferent: the 770 was for all intents and purposes used as a market feeler. That alone suggests a feedback process for further development. The improvements in the N800 (I am omitting devolution for sake of argument) lead me to believe there is a serious effort behind the devices. I'm enjoying the ride. Your mileage may vary.

Well, by the time Nokia support sorts out whether to send me cash or repaired unit, enough time will have passed to see if N800 really is better than 770 :D
