Thanks !

even the fancy ajax based stuff works just fine - address autocomplete etc.

Speaking of Ajax, how about Google Maps? :D

I can't seem to find a way to scroll around a google map using the stylus, and the zoom bar doesn't work either (althought the zoom and scroll buttons do work)

[Reggie]

That's bad news. :( Maybe there's a key to simulate a 'left mouse button down.'

[Hedgecore]

Do apps like the file manager support dragging/dropping or is that functionality completely absent from the device?

[twohe]

Drag and drop in file manager works just fine.

In the browser, I found that 'left mouse down' is handled by double-tap-and-hold using the stylus; much like a laptop touch-pad. It works OK when you're personalising your Google homepage (www.google.com/ig) on the 770 (I went to the Apple Store on Regent's Street last night after work for the free wifi and was demoing my 770 to a friend who works at Google and he went on at me to go do all that! :) ).

You can drag the sections around and they save OK, but the same thing doesn't work too well in Google maps... I found I could zoom and center ok, but the dragging would only go a few pixels and stop.

In general the performance of Google Maps was pretty poor, but usable if you go fairly slowly. A variety of other sites I tried had generally good performance (rendering/scrolling etc).

can any one tell me how to use it please

This would be the wrong thread, unless you're trying to use GMail in the 770 browser? If so, you just go to https://mail.google.com/, and it works, same as any other browser.

If you're asking some question about Microb, Modest, osso-email, or claws, this isn't really where it goes. And those have all been discussed in general, so you'll probably want to try a more specific question...

Happy to help, but your question doesn't really go anywhere.
