It shouldn't void the warranty because it doesn't physically/permanently damage the device. I can reflash to factory conditions and it works as advertised again. I could see Nokia refusing to help (ie phone support) if I've customized the software too much, but I would also expect them to point

I think I would just say Nokia may refuse to support such configurations as when I think of warranty I really think of hardware and not software, whereas support covers both. Some clarifying will likely be needed however you say it, though. --Paul P.S. Just realized your e-mail address. Now I

My other big complaint is that the entire device has to be reflashed in order to run the new version of the OS. Why can't they update different pieces, like the browser, or the kernel? Since the browser and flash player hasn't been updated, I don't think I will update my Nokia 770.

hi, why not implement something like having the post-installed softwares on the MMC (yes, i am aware of the speed issue) so that we can just flash the what-so-ever firmware updates, and still be able to use directly the installed software straight with little tweaking (perhaps updates for these

Also, on a mobile device, it's much more likely that the battery runs out, or drops out (if user is a bit thoughtless). If this happens when you're running dist-upgrade, you've bricked your device. Well, not really.. you can still flash it. Or reboot from memory card and continue thru chroot
