You come to the right place for help, to suggest you to return the 770 is a very stupid suggestion and waste bandwidth on this forum. Anyway, we all are newbie sometime, ...

1) Aim on 770. I use the Gizmo project and it installed all the protocol for IM, which includes AIM, Yahoo.... On your desktop PC, just google Gizmo and follow the instruction.

For the rest, I think gbm has almost answered them all. For a starter, I would recommend, on your 770, go to website maemo.org/downloads and pick a category, say Games, and pick anything that has a green 'click to install' button and click it, most of the time, it will come up with a screen of instruction for download and installation. Try a few and get the hang of it, and slowly you would progress to Xterm and a Debian guru someday. Good luck, and post back if problem. Or even, if there is no problem, just post to help other newbies will show your appreciations.

i do have another question... what exactly is, and what does python do?

**EDIT**

Ok, i finally got it installed... it seems to me that it kind of like a "FTP". It just downloads a list of apps available to download to the 770.

Ok next questions...

1). What APP do i need to hear myspace music?

2). Are there any other links like python for even more apps?

Sorry no myspace music on 770 that I know of

more apps than on maemo, I dont think so :?

I would like to add a question if I may- I love Nethack- now I tried to install it (it did install) but when It came to playing the game nothing happened- Just "click" on it and nothing... In both IT2006 OS and the Hacker IT2006/IT2007 verson. The same. Any ideas?

BTW I dont have Python installed if that helps... I will do mind you.
