    ...not to mention Gmail, one of the few Ajax apps out there that works just fine with Opera on the 770...

    Umm, no it doesn't have an easy fix. Apparently you have to root your Nokia, something I have no desire to do. Besides, I expect something I pay that much money for to be fixed by the VENDOR, not ME. IT's called service. We sort of demand that here in the US. Apparently you don't. And I already said, there isn't one bug, there are two that I know if so far.

    If I find 2 that quickly, I'm sure there are dozens more to be found as well. I never thought it was perfect either. But I did expect it to do the things it was supposed to do well. And I didn't expect the update to break things. Being unhappy with that isnt' unrealistic.
    (Banner, sorry if I come off rude, that's the problem with text.)

    Actually being unhappy is unrealistic. You're an early adapter. Do you think the PC worked as well as it does now when it first came out? Part of getting in early means you know there are going to be problems. It also means that you try to help fix it, not just rant about how it doesn't work the way you want.

    Things are going to break, especially with updates, and things are going to cause headaches (I thought everyone would be used to that with Microsoft products (that was more of a dig at the whole software industry because microsoft isn't the only one that has that problem, they're just the biggest kid on the block so they get noticed more)). You need to work with the vendor by filing bug fixes or giving more information on said bugs. Even then, things aren't fixed overnight (regardless of the of the perception given by most Open Source Projects).

    As for this thing called service, you haven't been paying attention customer service in the US is dead. It's been out-sourced to off shore companies, because the corporate masters want to see larger profits. Even then, when you go to places you expect to have decent service like restaurants, you get crap service, because the people work for tips, are over worked, get paid something like 2.25/hr (which is considered minimum wage because of the tips). So after dealing with overly demanding customers who tip lightly why should they be happy and ready to help at the drop of a hat. People love to ***** about the lack of customer service, but most don't understand what is required to make it better, and when they do, they don't want to because it means spending more money.

    As for the email, why not try it with wifi if the bt isn't working? You can also always down grade to the old version of the OS (it's still on the nokiausa.com page the last I looked).

    Why don't you want to root your device? Doing so give you the ability to do more, it gives you access to config it better, and customize.

    Can swap be any bigger than 24MB with new version? Or has this already been solved?

    Yeah, its the december code. Someone must have made a mistake on their website. That or they've decided not to make a new release here.

    Ok, now *that* was a QA issue

    Probably the web people being ahead of the file server folks. In either case I don't think I'll be able to reflash til tomorrow morning... hangover permitting.

    But as of around 10:00 AM EDT, the download link points to a [wrong] location on europe.nokia.com anyway! So much for that 'special usa version'.

    So is it safe to say that for those of us in the US that there will be no new version to use?
