I can write text, but the Return key seems not working (doesn't open a new line). Running latest official Nokia firmware with italian localization. Bye.</p> I’ve tried your package on my 770.

ssh -X guest@remotehost

There needs to be a net-based library of such icons and a way to bring them down to the 770′s GUI with just a tap to the screen. Then the 770′s GUI becomes a network interface which opens its display to a world of useful software. The only responsibility that the 770 should have is to provide a GUI that accesses the usefulness of remote processes, storage and software, then to serve up the display to them.

Lots of 770 users are hoping you will provide us with an AbiWord update soon!

While you’re at it, how difficult would it be to add support for Word .DOC files? Currently, opening a .DOC results in a bunch of unreadable symbols.

Keep up the good work!
