Frankly, the only thing I am scared of is getting something like a WSOD later on this year. Nokia would probably offer me something like $50 in compensation...

The cynical among us saw this coming. As soon as the N800 was officially released, we heralded the end of the 770. Nokia tried to deny it, tried to assuage concerns, and some of us even bought it, but now it's official.
...
One word, Nokia: ouch.
I will surely not buy a N800 or N900 or Nxxx anytime soon, not until these problems have been tackled. I strongly suggest you do the same - not for the 770's OS or for my beliefs but for your own good - the same thread will be opened next spring with N800 in its title.
And if you cannot resist the temptation buy it from a friend or from somebody who doesn't use theirs - you'll get a good price and make a stand !

Now, it is of course possible that N800 owners won't suffer the same fate, but they can't feel easier about the situation in light of this recent development.

Personally I think this is very disappointed news. I hope the iPhone of Apple will justice...

Texrat has also suggested Dr Jaksi's blog, but I'm doubtful about that, I think it's mostly a soapbox for him and the comments are overflowing with spam anyway.

Probably won't matter that much...
I had 3 WSOD in 9 months, how long will those remaining 770's run?
Nokia, I'm not interested in your devices, any of them.

I'm not sure how many of you are aware of the newsgroup thread on this, but here it is:
gmane.comp.handhelds.maemo.dev (No more 770 bug activity?)
EDIT: send concerns to qa@maemo.org.

. But just out of curiosity, I read about the WSOD and apparently it was a design flaw corrected in newer units (and I suppose repaired ones). How come you kept receiving unfixed ones ?

Average time in "Repair" about 1 month.
Each time in "Repair" screen replaced.
Last one left "Repair" 2/26/07, died this week, WSOD just like the others.
It's obviously a design flaw that Nokia has no intention of fixing permanently.
770 owners, prepare to be without your tablet, with or without warranty.
