Which is not likely seeing I can only expect an update to OS2007 HE at most. So, yeah, I have pretty much nothing to look forward to in this update

In case you missed it (and who can blame you if you did!), Quim posted this comment on 3 June in his blog, in reply to another poster asking for an update on 770 development (ie. OS 2007 HE):

Carlos is the one to explain. Basically, the idea is to keep working with the same developer that pushed the previous versions of the hacker edition. As far as I know we are waiting for him to finish another project. Let me confirm all this before taking it as an official answer, though.

So chances are there has been NO progress on 770 development in the last 2+ months, but hopefully with the imminent release of new firmware for N800 this can be back ported to 770 once the developer (Markku Vire) finishes his current project. Unfortunately the lack of resources within Nokia once again highlights the problems that surround closed source development of the OS.

I for my part still hope that skype will be available for download separately and will not be included in any OS release. It worked that way with Gizmo, and I don't see why people who use standard VoIP (or no VoIP at all) should be forced to sacrifice space for this much disputed application.

I was mad at Texrat for attacking me and calling me names on other threads and I knew how big his ego was.... so.... I knew if I posted something about Nokia then I could make him respond and go nuts because he wanted to be the know-it-all on here even when he didn't have info himself. He just called me one too many names and he and Milhouse gloated over SAP leaving over this same subject when SAP forcasted it in more general terms... bottom line is Texrat got punked and he desevred it... he was out of control with many on here, especially the newbies... anyhow... last week it was payback time but now it's back to normal as I just read read read and learn what u people know.

You mean you destroyed your credibility just to irritate someone? And the rest of us who thought you might be reliable, what about us? Last time I take you seriously...

Credibility? #1 this is the internet...#2 Texrat was bashing me and making me look bad even if "internet credibility" mattered... #3 All I care about this place is 95% reading and posting the odd comment may help a newbie... I won;t be posting any more scoops though. lol

Euchreprof...The post that you just wrote is one of the most childish ones that I have ever read. Good grief. No one got 'punked', mostly because when we (as N800 owners and tablet aficionados) spout nonsense at one another, we ALL look like idiots. Personally, I resent the fact that you felt that you had to write anything at all in an attempt to justify your past several posts. You raised the hopes of many by intentionally posting false information, just to settle some personal feelings of insecurity. I hope you feel better. One more thing...it's D-E-S-E-R-V-E-D. If you are going to continue to post messages on public forums, it is imperative that you at least attempt to sound like an educated adult.

Texrat was "bashing me"? and "making me look bad"?

Are you going to get your Daddy to beat him up for crying out loud? You sound like a pathetic little spoiled child - are you related to Paris Hilton by any chance?

Quit blaming myself or Texrat for your ridiculous behaviour and take some responsibility for your actions for once. In short, GROW UP.

Having suffered through the previous thread along these lines... I think tex's credibility is bolstered as is his support from most of the readers of this ongoing thread, I am guessing.

Talk about a "scorched earth" tactic... sure you may have annoyed one person but at what cost... being reduced to a mere punchline, or worse still being totally irrelevant to any meaningful discussion that may take place in the future?

At any rate, since you "meant to do that" I guess congratulations are in order....

Congrats, euch... you fail at life AND the internet.

Not only did you fail at freaking out Texrat, you just proved how right he was all along.

K I admit I am #1 enemy on here now and I deserve all this and more to come... but I also admit I totally LOVED Texrat self destructing and I would do it all over again. Making him leave this place for even a week due to too much stress is a classic. He totally deserved it cuz he is a very rude and arrogant man... and not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I am done with this thread... I will enjoy reading the bashing that I am sure is to follow though.
