The 'home key' technique is the one (the only one) the win32 flashing 
wizard guides you through (and IIRC also described on the 770 homepage); 
as such not having a waiting mode is almost certainly a feature, not a bug.

Personally I might share your 'use Linux and be happy' sentiment, but 
considering that the win32 flasher is the tool (only tool?) made 
available to the normal users by Nokia for software updates, and that 
undoubtedly most of the  770 users will be coming from the win32 desktop 
environment, it might not do any harm for Nokia's developers to get some 
first hand win32 experience with the 770? ;)
