I just bought my 2 - 770s. Here are my best answers.


"1. Is there any way to change themes?"

Yes...

"2. can you listen to music while browsing the internet?"

Yes...

"3 How good is the video playback on the Nokia770?"

With proper conversion, not bad.

"4. How long does the battery last?"

5 to 6 hours

"5. Can you watch flash videos online?"

You can its just ot so great... actually, just short of bad.

"6. I heard that theres a notes application, if so can you write a note then copy that and send it to someone via email?"

... I haven't tried, sorry.

"7. Does it come standard with AIM, YAHOO, MSN, and GOOGLE TALK messengers?"

It comes with Google Talk. You can use GAIM or other IM applications that are EASILY downloadilbe and configurable.

"8. Does the audio player display album art?"

Not that I have seen... but some of the other media players might.

"9. How good it the audio quality?"

The external speaker quality is good considering its size... but the headphones jack works really well.

Ok, this is a rather novice answer, I havent got one but I can try and answer some of the questions from what I've read on here so I thought, why not? :D

5. Can you watch flash videos online?

I believe that like mentioned the playback of flash vids like youtube is poor - however I plan to get 'uktube' when mine arrives which looks useful for downloading videos from youtube and storing (or does it stream?) there is also 'Orb' which can stream the video from youtube to the device, however it requires a pc on your network to be running orb

"6. I heard that theres a notes application, if so can you write a note then copy that and send it to someone via email?"

I would imaging that copying and pasting is possible however thats a guess :)

"8. Does the audio player display album art?"

I believe canola does and also ukmp, these are both downloads - easy from what I've seen


Please correct me if I'm wrong, just trying to help :)

I noticed you have Alltel. Did you get your phone to work with the 770? what settings do you have to make your phone a modem?

Yes I did! It works great. I only use my minutes instead of a data package (so after 9pm till 6am -or whatever- I get unlimited minutes at about 240kps).

To set it up, you just tell the Nokia that you have an Alltel phone. You will see it in the settings. There isn't anything else that you need to do.

Then connect via your bluetooth, and away you go. It worked great for me in Sprint & Verizon areas also when I was on the road.

Hope that helps!
