More than expected [Posted on 2007-09-13]
I bought the 770 as a cheaper eReader device for my partner. Turned out the upgraded os and the ablility to get access to all the Linux goodness made my Geek very happy. Turned out to be a great gift. With a Gig of SD card added and a new Kernel the memory and speed was vastly improved. The VPN works fantastic, the browsing regular sites is great and the screen is amazing.
Had I a choice between purchasing my present Palm T|X and the Nokia I would purchase the Nokia. Though the price I purchased it at made it worthwile.
Nice Product [Posted on 2007-09-18]
This runs Linux really well. You can get to a command-line prompt just fine. There is quite a bit of software that can be downloaded to run on it. It connects to my WPA-secured 802.11g network easily, and it can also connect to unsecured 802.11 networks all over town. You can install an SSH client and also a server. It plays MP3 music out of the box, but for some reason you have to install a separate OGG music player. It would be nice to have a newer Flash player so that YouTube videos could be played - I understand that there is a "beta" version of the OS that does include a newer Flash player, but I'm not happy putting anything beta on a product that I use as much as I am using this one. I bought this one and am quite happy with it, but if I could afford it, I would probably get the newer n800-series unit - This is a good product. Recommended.
can't believe everything it does well for the price. [Posted on 2007-09-24]
i don't find it slow, but perhaps my expectations were different that some people's. i think they may have expected a little laptop. i compare it to web surfing via my Nintendo Wii, and the 770 has a more stable wifi connection, is easy to type on, and is somewhat faster.
i've used the built in GoogleTalk to talk to friends long distance. they've indicated i sound marginally clearer when using a headset with a pc, but being able to walk around the house beats that.
i like this thing so much that i considered trading up to the newer model, but it doesn't have the metal sleeve the 770 does, and i decided the sleeve was a feature i really valued. it offers a high degree of protection and i love the way it slips into sleep when the cover is reversed.
i installed (free!) software to stream mp3s from my pc, and i plug the 770 into my stereos. it's almost worth the price just for that feature alone.
it's been very useful on trips too. some hotels have free wifi now.
i wouldn't recommend hoping to use the handwriting recognition features, a wealth of free maemo software (there isn't much, and some stinks), or sites that require an up to date Flash plugin (there's none), but i can't believe how many things the 770 does well for the price. this is the best purchase i've made in a long time.
the things i hate--probably the only thing--are the pc requirements for updating the software on it, and the lame Flash support (not Nokia's fault, but nevertheless).
slick [Posted on 2008-04-11]
slick , cool , fun , useful, works as claimed, not microsoft and that's a plus! easy to learn if you have half a brain, that's all i used the other half was watching tv. shop for best price. get free 770 software on line, most 800 will also work, get the free 770 video converter and buy lots of 2gig rs-mmc, great picture, record whole movies on 2gig with lots of space left over, change mem on fly as long as you are not accessing it!
shop shop shop now that the 800 is out i have seen the 770 from 50 to 275 dollars!
