Nokia 770 - baby steps

Today I flashed the thing to the December 30 firmware. it went without event and I was able to restore my bookmarks without trouble.

But since it was easy, that got me motivated to do some things I probably should have done a long time ago.

following the instructions in this thread:

I applied the binary patch to the firmware and re-uploaded it it to the device so now I should be able to setup a swap file/partition on the device if I so desire.

I've been following the thread here:

On the details of actually creating a swap file or partition and for now I created a 16MB file on the the original 64MB flash card for that purpose, I do occasionally run out of memory with a couple browser windows open, particularly the flash plugin can eat memory like it's going out of style...
