Here's a basic comments loop for WordPress 2.7. You just have to replace your current comment loop with that one to make it work with WordPress 2.7.
<?php
if (have_comments()) : ?>
<h4 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Comments', 'One Comment', '% Comments' );?></h4>
<ul class="commentlist">
<?php wp_list_comments(); ?>
</ul>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_comments_link() ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php next_comments_link() ?></div>
</div>
<?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) :
// If comments are open, but there are no comments.
else : // comments are closed
endif;
endif;
?>

@cubus: great post from Justin! I have scheduled a recipe based on it for soon.
That was fast. I will give this a try as soon as 2.7 is available.
I won’t be downloading WP 2.7, not unless ALL of the plugs I’m using becomes compatible… which would be like a month after the 2.7 official release
My theme was not supporting threaded comments. I have written a post on how to make comments compatible in Wordpress 2.7. Do check it http://www.niharsworld.com/2008/12/16/how-to-implement-threaded-comments-in-wordpress-themes/
Sometimes it’s really that simple, isn’t it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.
It will be part of the prescient option under design now. ,
