I am quite disappointed too. If 770 software would be fully open sourced, there would be no problem. But I feel like i've been cheated, and now I'm trapped with a device with unsupported software (opera, flash, etc.), and I guess main 770 developers will move to N800 attracted by the 99€ offer.

Even though the 'half-open platform' of Apple was mentioned, I think the important part was 'which presumably will ship with Apple-provided "killer apps," no magic market creation required'. I don't see Apple having problems selling their iPhone in the near future. And Nokia telling people after ~12 months that their N770 is basically not supported any longer is not gonna drive anyone to recommend the platform and devices, is it? I, for one, am rather disappointed by this whole affair, and I will stop showing the device to people in my Linux courses as an example for an open development platform, managed by a big, but responsibly acting corporation. Because this somehow doesn't feel right any longer (and actually didn't for some time, after too many excuses).
