Nokia 770 was smaller than I thought it would be. The nicest part is that it found my wireless network just fine and the browser works. Downside is that performance is generally sluggish for a memory based device. Displays web pages nicely but not very quickly. Email app looks nice but also is sluggish and is missing some key functionality to really use it. Instant on is really instantaneous. I see this as a web browser to keep near the couch. Newsfeed feature is pretty good also. Some games are in progress from outside vendors but only buy this for an instant on browser. There is functionality to make it work with your bluetooth phone but I have not tried it. A faster processor and a little more memory (64mb vs 128 mb) would create a much better feel to the product.

I have just bought an N70 today. BUT I have a problem that the Nokia website is not able to sort out for me today, how do I change the language of the phone? At the moment it is all in Flemmish (I live in Belgium) and I need to have it in English! Unfortunately the instruction manuals are in either French or Flemmish, I don’t speak Flemmish so I can’t go through the manual to find the equivalent in French! Please, is there anyone out there who can help a poor pathetic creature who really wants to enjoy her new phone?!!!P.S. I have tried searching for the manual in English on Google. Thank you!

Every one has missed the point of this device. IT WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD. Why.

In a world where IP telephony and instant messging will dominate, why not have an always on device that allows me to make and receive calls through my broadband. Why do I need a mobile or even a landline.

I already talk frequently using Skype at home. My kids use Instant Messaging and Text in preference to talking. For the first time I have a device that is easily accessable, has a decent resolution which happens to co incide with widscreen video formats and I can leave powered on and not worry about killing the environment.

If and When the telcos sort out WIFI roaming pricing ( and it will happen)....

Nokia should be congratulated in Seeing the near future

Think about it.

>> most countries outside of NA region tend to have a lot more “pen�? based computing.

Pen based PDA’s and data-centric converged devices are much bigger phenomenon in NA then in the rest of the world. I live in Europe, our office is filled with Nokia Communicators and smartphones, I haven’t seen a single pen based device here.

[...] Previously, he wrote about the Nokia 770 saying: …the linux under pinnings make it more extensible. I think there will be more hacks for this device very quickly. With WiFi becoming common place, at least on school and college campuses, this one has a potential with the next generation. [...]

[...] Still, the device that caught my attention the most was the shiny new Nokia 770 - which is a cross between a PDA and a Tablet PC. (Previously, I had written this about 770.) The early engineering version of the device had a really great browser, which used the thumping fast WiFi to render pages in true fidelity. (GigaOm.com looked fine, so who cares about rest of the world. ) The switching between the applications - email, audio player and browser was sluggish, but the Nokia representatives say that it should be fixed by the time device ships later this fall. The four way keypad navigator works nicely and helps you toggle tasks nicely. One of my concerns was that it would be too big to be used casually, but that is not the case. The ultra-bright screen makes up for the size, while it is light enough to be thrown into your messenger bag without inducing any permanent damage to your spinal cord. Now I cannot wait to get one for a full blown review. In Unwired Posted Thursday, September 29, 2005 at 7:51 AM PT [...]

I’ve been waiting for this puppy to come out for awhile. I don’t mind the $350 as I can now lay in bed and do my nightly 30-minute surfing without wife getting cranky. I would expect there is a section of the population like me…come home from work, eat dinner, play with the kids, watch a bit of TV, look around in the garage, GET ON THE INTERNET, etc. For some reason, when I’m doing the internet thing, wife is yelling orders from the other room. Now, having this little gizmo in my pocket means I can have my 30-minute internet fix while obeying wife’s direction around the house. Hurry up and release Nokia!

Just how tweakable will it be? If this is really a baby Linux tablet, it’ll be a charm and it will fly off the shelves into the arms of happy geeks. Can I slap new software up onto it - and if so, will it be easy-to-get Debian-friendly goodness? Good lord, GIMP and a console on a three-hundred-buck tablet? How cool would that be?

Personally, I’m tired of the ‘Try to be everything’ cellphones. Too hard to use. I only use it to make phone calls (can you imagine!)

I just want a simple phone and a seperate PDA type device. My Visor is getting on in age and I just started looking for a replacement. This is it! I can also access my web-based home entertainment system.

I might have to buy two if my wife gets a good look at it. Then she won’t have to wait for our daughter to get off the computer…

A quertykeyboard and a gprs access at least would have been a decent addition to its features.

At Redmonk what struck both me and Stephen is that this device is not targeted at end users so much at end users as grassroots developers–uber geeks and o’reilly types. attract them and cool apps will come. attract cool apps and consumers will come. this is a web services meets Skype meets REST meets Firefox meets Google access device. designed for “remix developers”.

This device is for what happens after Walled Gardens. Nokia has never appealed to this type of developer (outside the carrier) before. now it starts.
