It was known at the PR launch of the 810 that the IT2008 OS would run on the n800. There is also strong indication that the IT2009 will run on the n800 as well. With some hacker-foo they may even bring the IT2008 release to the lowly 770 as well.

It makes sense since the hardware inside is virtually identical.

Yes, but we're supposed to have to wait another week or so until they have a finished version for the N800. What I suspect this means is that they did all their QC on the N810 to get it out the door on time, and still need to wrap up QC on the N800. So, not really having time to fiddle with it _twice_, I'm just waiting.

The 770 receiving 2008 seems a bit of a stretch; it's a previous product, now EOLed, while the N800/N810 are both current products (low/high-end, but simultaneous production) and share much more hardware similarity, so all future updates for one should be good for both.
However, there have been some Nokia sources insisting ITOS2008HE will be coming to the 770s eventually. If so, it'll be truly outstanding support.
