Emm...? While being so excited about it, I wonder what happened to the 604 wifi? No update on this one? I'm very surprised, since the 604wifi must've suffered just about the same issues as the 604 and the 504... :-| Maybe they'll shot out another update tomorrow...!?

Do you think the new firmware of the 604 Wi-Fi will include the Java/Flash we are all waiting for?

Hey talat,
I'm hoping so, yes. Besides the well known issues, it's the only reason I see to hold the wifi back and not release an update with the other 04-Models... Let's keep our fingers crossed ;-)
