I upgraded and had an issue with the bookmarks--I could only add them, but not move or delete. I re-flashed and now everything seems good.

I just found out how to overcome an "code 7" error.
This might be helpful to others although I didn't find any post from someone else in the forum reporting it.
The update kept terminating at 47% with this error. Nokia's support pages were no help as the error kept occuring while I gave it several tries and I had no second PC at hand. (http://europe.nokia.com/faqsearch/Sh...se&qt=code%207)
What helped was to raise the priority of the Update Wizard process in the Windows taskmanager to the highest value. Then everything went smoothly immediately.
My OS: Win XP SP2 on a 5 years old Sony Vaio

I've got one question about the clock. I've been wondering this for a while but I finally feel like enough of a dick to just say it.
If the clock is 3 hours off, can't you set the clock 3 hours behind so it all evens out?
(I'm either a genius or an arse.)
Tank: The battery's the root of voodoo troubleshooting in that thing... I've had to pop it lots and it *does* always seem to fix the problem du jour. Must be poweerd by gremlins or something. (Hope Gilman's treatin ya well!)

Guys - you're all forgetting something. The upgrade you're using is the European version. The North American version isn't out for another 3 weeks or so. I spoke to Nokia today and they told me not to download the Euro version cause it may not work properly on my US phone. Furthermore, they said it could damage my phone. Depending on where you got your phone, there are slight differences.

I was specifically told that US version will be slightly different. Not only that, but they're fixing some bugs the Euro version presented. Just wait a couple of weeks *****es!!

Why not just downgrade the software. You can still find (last I checked) the older version of the software at the Nokia USA site. No one says you have to upgrade and stay upgraded.
This tells me that the fired all teh original devlopers and replaced them with a team of incompetants. If I had known that this was the level of support and future releases I would -never have bought this product-. I bought it because I figured the thing would get better with time, as better software came out. Now I see that better software will never come out and Nokia has no interest in supporting this device any further.
As a QA manager with 20 years experience in that field alone, I've seen this all before an I know how it's going to play out. I'll use it for all that it will ever be good for: A low end remote browser that mostly works, and an xterm I can use to access a real machine remotely, for when I don't feel like packing my laptop. Not really very useful, I'd hoped I'd be able to do email with it, and documents, but the email prog is pretty much crap and it doesn't read MS documents, which is 99 percent of the world. So that kills 60 percent of why I bought it.
Maybe I'll ebay it and cut my losses, but I think I'll wait to see if the North America release doesn't have all the bugs in it that the Europeans (at the MAIN 770 site) got. Douobtful, I know.

(ok, that's T-mobile VPN service in NW Oregon)
Brad.
From the way it works, this is obviously the previous version of connection software, the one prior to their adding the VPN option automatically. So this release is apparently a roll back, not an upgrade.

As a QA manager I can understand your desire for a quality bug-free release (I'm a database monkey, I've got the same views - - mistakes are unacceptable), however bugs do and will get released. There's two things to take into consideration - - 1, this is an entire operating system, not a standalone application. 2, the 770 interacts with an extremely wide range of other hardware whether it be routers, cellphones, or PCs. Perhaps it's not always to blame. Your phone problems are most likely due to having a european image on your machine, though I don't have a cell and can't confirm this. I don't think you're running the 770 through a fair test case. You jumped the gun and grabbed a distro meant for another continent and have shoved all the blame on the developers. C'mon, blame placing is for upper management. (Though being in a QA spot I can understand the dislike for devs, I've seen the "I found a bug" "**** you you found a bug!" scenario played out many times).
If the North American image poses as many problems, I'll be more content to sit back and agree with your points, but until it's released, I really don't think this test case is fair.

Yep. Damn Nokia. Looks like they're just milking this for all it's worth. They should be more like that other company with the cheap popular web tablet that's built on open source software, and is still supported. The name of that company slips my mind.
I hope your QA isn't as short sighted as your rants.
