 Which tells me right off if I buy the latest, I can count on it being
 unsupported in 3 years.
 

 Nokia has already admitted they made a mistake with the 770, and has  
 done a lot to rectify it with the Hacker Editions. Support for the  
 N8x0 isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
   
Yeh, like maybe another 3 years. I have a 770 running 2.2006.39.14 
(Sirocco). I don't do much with it except to run Canola which turns it 
into a really good mp3 player.

Question: Is there any advantage for me to upgrade the OS to the last 
that will run on this machine which I guess is the Hacker Edition?

Comment: If I were to upgrade to something newer I doubt it would be an 
810. The new ultra-portables with 9 inch screens are becoming available. 
They cost only a little more and will run a regular Linux distro.

Re: memory cards for a 770

[Don Birdsall]

   I bought an early 770 when they first came out. I upgraded the OS 
once or twice to Gregale. I also installed a 2GB card. Well, maybe 
it's not quite an iPod Touch but for an older model it's one heck of a 
MP3 player and plays videos as well with Canola!!

The 770 is still a nice gadget. Upgrading the memory is the next best 
choice to buying an 810.

If you can satisfy all dependencies without messing up the system, it
should be possible.
It worked this way with Debian ARM packages on OS 2005 which used to
be ARM instead of EABI ARM.

 Is it possible to install Debian armel (EABI ARM) packages from sid (unstable)
 on an N810? The particular packages in question are emacs21 and texlive.
