Not hard to add it if they missed it. Go back to the threads about the last update and the problem that they had with the time zones. it tells you how to add additonal time zones to the 770. I know you'd rather have it be there stanard. I don't blame you.

It's possible that your experience with Windows Mobile devices may provide insight regarding the 770 interface (and it would be great if you'd care to expand on that point), but the Treo is an incomparable device. Remote User's observation regarding touchscreen GUIs seems very sound.

As for Windows Mobile, my experience has been with a HP iPaq, which has no keyboard, and a similar nav thinger like the 770. Far be it from me, a longtime Mac user to advocate anything Microsoft. But their UI is alot cleaner with similar restrictions as the 770.

BTW: I just read the specs on Nokia's website regarding the 2006 Version.... Still no native OGG Vorbis support. Instead a bundle of exotic proprietary formats I never even think of using on a Linux based system. Strange. While they're on the right track with Google Talk (based on open standards), they missed this one completely.

Is the start screen on the 2006 version more customizable than on the 2005 version, or is it still only possible to include or leave out the pre-configured applications?
