I figure a good starting point would be to identify the devices that obviously have the fault, and those that appear to not have it. They would, of course, need to have been in continuous use for quite some time, say a year or more. I know that this is a long shot, but frankly I'm afraid to purchase another 770, and I'm not sure that I can afford an 800 or 810. Plus, it seems a shame for so many good devices to go unused because of that fear alone.

Let me know what you think. Thanks guys.

Oh well, it was worth a try. I guess I'll just keep looking at the newer models. I could use the built in GPS on the N810 anyways. Thanks for the reply 68Guns.
