Can't find it now but there is some beginning of jazelle reverse 
engineering effort documented somewhere (maemo wiki?). Nothing big, just 
switching CPU to java mode and back but still this is one option for 
future. Official jazelle support would be closed and shipped with some 
proprietary JVM anyway which is not very interesting.

For such price I would buy one spare N770 too so I could try some N770 
modding (like hacking rs-mmc slot and fiting SD card inside - when 
booting from mmc I don't remove the card anyway), unfortunately they 
don't ship to my country.
