I hate Ipods, and Itunes, which caused me to try the Nokia770 .
It aleast has a stock pdf reader, and screen that I can read
the text on . They sell them on Amazon for 35 bucks .
The are great cheap mp3 players, and pdf readers .
I bought one and it works great . Batt lasts about 3 hours .
Can't use it much for wifi internet . It only logs in to my router
"With router set to wpa2 with wpa1 support" sometimes ?
Open hotspots are good, but the net is almost worthless on
the device anyway .
After the 770 sdhc kernel flash, I have a 32gb scandisk ultra sdhc
in mine .
The new sdhc cards have a chip inside them 1/3 the size of the
sdhc plastic case . I had an old 1gb mmc and popped its chip out,
and with a little non-abrasive glue the sdhc chip fits nicely in the
mmc case . Note: I would not do this with the stock 64mb mmc
case . You can buy old mmc cards for like 2 bucks online .
The hardest part for most people is flashing the kernel .
But, a seasoned linux user could flash the kernel on this thing,
giving them the use of 32gb sdhc cards . If you don't plan on
reading 250mb pdfs, or watching videos on the thing, its fine .
I wouldn't recomend it to anyone, other than the playful .

Some other notes: If you convert the video quality of a file down
to the standard format for the nokia, videos do work as well .
But, can any one in the world today handle that ? Its Ugly .
And, you can install links2 with xvkb from the links2 website for
a little faster web browsing . But, forget facebook, and youtube .
Also, the links2 team made nice deb files for links2, but they
left out the menu Icon for it . But xvkb has a menu Icon .
I even modified an old Easy Debian script to work for the 770 .
It has Fluxbox, and Lxde working fine . If anyone wants the files
let me know I'll post the google drive links to my stuff . Its all
in deb package format so, its easy to install or remove . The
only issue is I developed it only for OS2006 . If any one wants it
I'll post a some weak instructions for linux users . Anyone else
should forget about it . Its really only a linux hack that would
bother with an old device like this .
I also made a small deb to give links2 a menu icon, for anyone
that dosn't have term access .
