Re: An 800 pound gorilla has just entered the room.

In many ways the N800 is already dead. As for the iPod Touch (the iTouch is a different device and not made by Apple), it will blow the N800 away with it's browsing and multimedia capabilities. The...

Re: A Competing OS

I personally think that this is about the only thing Nokia could do to save the platform. To just open it up and allow a more common Unix in there as opposed to the IMNSHO goofy "Hildon" nonsense...

Re: ...a year or so with a 770.

I feel your pain. I was very much enthralled with the 770 when it came out. I like the concept, the layout and the features. Read my earlier posts on this board for defenses against people attacking...

Re: ...a year or so with a 770.

You have really summed up the whole sad experience well. The N770 is a good device, but it just isn't cutting it on so many levels. I really think (the eternal optimist) that if they had opened the...

Re: ...a year or so with a 770.

I guess I need to clarify. In the early days there was the issue of the microphone, which had no apparent function since there were no applications for it. In fact, browse this board as some claimed...

Re: ...a year or so with a 770.

It isn't so much as "what's so great" about an iPhone than it is what opportunities were lost and mistakes were made by Nokia. Yes, the speed is a major deficit and Apple has the advantage of later...

...a year or so with a 770.

I have now owned my N770 for over a year. It is showing it's age and now it is relegated to my nightstand. I find it useful only for browsing "last minute" issues before sleep--if I see something on...

Your friend? I think you have a duty to at least point him here. Keep mum about it around your enemies.

Re: No Further Support for 770

This is the only option that Nokia has (in my opinion) to both save face and at the same time appease the existing 770 user base. We do have some clout and anyone asking me gets: "Go ahead fool, buy...

What you see is what you get.

The touch-sensitive digitizer of the 770 causes the "sparkly" effect that you are seeing. Of course, if "new on eBay" means that it is new to you, but was used, then tiny scratches on the screen...

a) I mount USB drives all the time, if the camera mounts like a USB drive, then go for it.

b) Yes, certain BT protocols must be available in the phone. I use a V3c Razr. Great for travelling,...

Verizon works great.

I have a V3c (Verizon version of the Razr) and it works fine for DUN with the 770. You do not need EVDO for it to works. Basically, the phone acts as a BT modem. On a standrad CDMA system, it is...

There is a way....

If your digital camera mounts like a USB memory (many cameras work this way), then it is a simple matter to hook the camera to the 770, transfer the pics and then upload away.

The Unix OS keeps the 770 somwhat safe from obsolesence, but you must understand that hardware is short lived and the 770 is aging. I doubt that Nokia can afford to alienate the user base of the 770...

It is highly unlikely that you will find a replacement screen online from an aftermarket vendor. There are surprisingly few 770's out there and the device is held pretty close by Nokia. As such, you...

Ka-ching!!!

Price to Performance Ratio (UX/770)=6, so we would expect the Sony to be six times better than the 770. BTW, I paid about that ($2K) for my son's MacBook Pro. Don't even try to compare.

Let's examine these points realistically.

1) Not really. If you are using the 770 the way it was intended, the lack of a KB is a minor point and w/BT, almost totally inconsequential.

2) This is one of the great "why did the do (not do)...
