I'm generally happy with my device, but as it is marketed as an internet tablet, it's a bit appalling that device reports memory low error messages in some graphics heavy web pages, (no other apps running except browser) even with only one or two browser windows opened. This happens also with latest firmware, although upgrade was a massive improment in usability. So IMHO, it lacks memory, at least with present browser.

Titus, have you installed the latest OS upgrade? I was wondering if people are still getting out of memory errors after the upgrade.
This isn't a huge problem, usually I encounter this "low-memory stall", when browsing my favourite photography website http://www.dpreview.com . First of all, there are many Flash animations already in the main page, and sample pictures might be 5-7MB jpegs, which easily stall 770, even when keeping my rules of engagement (= only two browser windows, one main, one for popup). But still, this is first portable device, which can handle Dpreview somehow comfortably.

I guess I expected Linux to be different. Maybe it will be if the lack of memory is not a hardware thing but a case of optimising the software to make better use of the existing memory.
Microsofts general answer to getting software to work faster is always to add more RAM rather than making their coding better. Hopefully the Nokia/Linux combination will take a better approach.
Regarding the PC replacement thread I am excited about just how well this thing will be able to emulate (not necessarily replace) a lot of a PC's functions. It can already do about 50% of the work that my daily PC does and I've no doubt that within 6-12 months that'll get to 100% due to the efforts of open source programmers.
Of course, due to its physical size it won't actually replace your PC for daily work but for flexible work outside of the office it will work well.
For me its a fascinating step into the future and I'm really enjoying seeing how this platform develops!
