What is the status for the 770 ? Is it really broken ? Or should I take it for a try ?
Thanks for the really good work !

Well it installed very well : I good even configure the wifi acces.
The only downside was that the virtual keyboard was white althoug it works if you know where to press
So I decided to reboot to see how far I could use it : I never managed to get past the background image yet ...
EDIT : talked (wrote ?) too soon : on the 4th attempt it booted completely and remembered my wireless connection ! I can even use Tear and the keybord is visible : I'm a happy camper !!!
I am still voting no on the day to day use for these reasons. 1 I am a map freak, the gps and map program must be functional. 2 settings is still non responsive, locks. Although, this time it doesn't require a reboot to continue using the device, the os is not yet easy to navigate and customize. And we need a media player.

While this is a very rough guide, it may help on GPS side:
And then locate a gpsd compatible mapping program. Settings being non-responsive - I wanted to remove it but we didn't get the replacement ready for the deadline. So it goes.
Media player is interesting - but we're going to solve this by MediaMer or something repositories. The problem is that our build service does not allow mp3 codecs and so on due to patent issues. Else we would have had Canola and such long ago.

Been playing with Mer 0.15 for most of the day, and it seems to be getting close.
I voted no though, as like FRZ, I would like to see support for mapping, and for media playback. Also some of the dialogs in settings etc are still messed up, but I guess you know that.
One thing I have not seen mentioned before though, is that if I rotate the screen on my N800, I loose sight of the status bar controls, so I cannot rotate it back. Only way I could solve was to reboot,
The screenshot of quasar looks very interesting, but the mediaplayer for me currently would be Canola due to it's clean interface which ideally suited for in-car use. Also need IM, Mauku (twitter), and a backup/restore app.
Keep up the great work, it it very much appreciated.

How do I view the Mer file system inside maemo? I want to transfer sample files to it instead of mounting a partition in Mer. The problem I have with mounting partitions is that I always forget to unmount and I think last time I did that in Mer one of my partitions messed up.
And also, is it possible to connect to the pc with the usb cord like in maemo in Mer? yet?
