A new version of the Internet Tablet OS 2007 Hacker Edition for the Nokia 770 is now available for download. There are two improvements in this released compared to the previous one:

  • The Mozilla browser engine developed by Nokia is now available in addition to the Opera engine.
  • A critical bug causing memory corruption under certain wlan conditions has been fixed.

Both improvements carry a remarkable degree of user contributions, big thank you!

The development to bring the Hacker Edition to Chinook levels is ongoing. It's not being easy to make the OS2008 fit in the 770 hardware. We are keeping the plan to offer you a new HE release though, hopefully before the end of the year.

Remember: the OS2007 Hacker Edition is not an end-user ready release and it is not officially supported by Nokia.

I gave this new HE release a try on my 770. (Before that I had OS2006.) The problem I have is that the virtual keyboard doesn't pop up when I tap on a text field. Has anyone else seen this issue ?

I also very distinctively remember picking Finnish as the language and all the wizards run after installation were indeed in Finnish - alas, the Tablet it self is in English after those have ended and the attempt to change the language ends up with the above mentioned results. Such a minor issue, but still, annoying. I already got used to having Finnish layout in my virtual keyboard.

Does this come with better flash player thsn os2006? If not, what are the benefits? Cut down version of Mozilla browser is availble for os2006 already. I remember reading user reports on pervious os2007he that it slows the 770 right down. Without updated flash player is there any benefit to the user?

Maybe i selected the wrong setting on first boot, but it comes up as UK instead of US. trying to change it, i get "Device storage memory full. Remove data to free memory." It won't let me set my language / region.
