Imagine if you could shrink your whole computer into something that fits in your hand. The Nokia 770 comes close. The first thing that must be said is that it's not a phone. Not at all. It's a palmtop PC, with a colour touchscreen, 64MB RAM expandable via a reduced-size MMC slot, bluetooth, WiFi, built-in 'quiet speaker' as well as a mini-socket for microphone and speakers, USB port and a few buttons including a four-way rocker with centre-select.

It came to market later than planned, but the pocket-sized Nokia 770 feels like a worthwhile experiment in portable computing. The 8.1-ounce unit is a bit larger and heavier than a high-end PDA. Unlike a PDA, this device wasn't designed to keep your contacts and calendar up to date, but to be used as a secondary Wi-Fi-enabled Web surfer.

Rob Pegoraro of The Washington Post has written a negative review of the Nokia 770 internet tablet. I asked a friend who owns (and likes) the Nokia 770 to comment: [tease] (emphasis added) The Washington Post article is junk.

The Nokia 770 "does little, and not very well," writes Washington Post Personal Technology Columnist Rob Pegoraro, in a scathing review. Pegoraro lambastes the 770 on all fronts, while grudgingly admitting that some of the time, it works okay for surfing the Web.

I've enjoyed exploring the new Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, a sleek hand-held, multi-function device that supports Web browsing, sending and receiving e-mail, playing audio, displaying video, and more. It connects to the Internet either over a home or public WiFi network or through a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone. Connecting this device to my secure WiFi network was a snap.

Eric Bangeman from ArsTechnica has written an all-round review of Nokia's latest portable communication gadget. In case you don't know, the 770 is a Linux based PDA-like device and the main functions are internet surfing and e-mail reading that we mentioned here back in May. In short, this is the pros and cons list, but the whole article is an interesting read and gives a much more in-depth impression.

The Nokia 770 is one of the coolest devices I've seen in a very long time and I can't wait to get my hands on one of these for a test drive. Mike Cane spent some quality time with the little Internet appliance and has published an exclusive in-depth review of the 770 on jkOnTheRun.

This is Nokia's upcoming handheld computer, what it calls the 770 Internet Tablet. I doubt that this device will sell all that well outside of a narrow market segment of people like me, but it's important nonetheless.

okia sent us in their very successful Linux-based internet tablet, the Nokia 770, for a review. The tablet came pre-installed with the latest 0.51 firmware version and we give it a whirl mentioning the positive points but also some negatives we found on the device.

I've been using a Nokia 770 for more than a month, and I want to share my experiences. The simple message is that it's paradigm shifting. I'm typing this review on my kitchen table. No, really, I'm actually typing *onto* my table, with a laser keyboard projector. It's really rather neat. It projects a keyboard onto the table, tracks where I place my fingers, and presents the information using bluetooth. Nokia 770, Nokia N70, Nokia HS-26W, iTech VKBBluetooth features extensively in my setup. It connects the keyboard, screen, mobile phone and headset. The phone gives me Internet and voice, simultaneously. It also lets me place calls from the bluetooth headset, as well as receive them. I press a button on the headset, say a name and surprisingly good speech-recognition works out which name from the phone's directory I said. It didn't need me to record the names before it could recognise them, either, which is what is so surprising. Voice recognition has come a long way in the past decade.
