Not too bad after all
 

I am going on a month travel to far away New Zealand in a few days and I decided to travel light. Guess what? I decided to take the 770 instead of a notebook.

I plan to use it for the following:
-web access (I have bookmarks for weather, hotels, attractions, blogging, etc...)
-mail
-chat using google talk
-voip phone using gizmo (and I configured a voip phone back home for free calls)
-mp3 music and games for the airplane
-news (RSS, web and radio from home)
-maps (maemo mapper and bluetooth GPS)
-data (lots of files with info on the RS-MMC card)
-expenses (gnumeric)
-displaying pictures (bought another RS-MMC card for the digital camera and can exchange pictures via bluetooth with the N80 phone)

NZ telecom operates wifi internet cafes all over the country (for a price).

I have spare batteries, extra MMC, Nokia bluetooth keyboard, backups, data cable and charger with adapter for the NZ plugs. Everything is still quite light and compact compared to a notebook.


I'd say that little machine is not too bad after all. :D

Don?t forget to pay all bills before departure. You can?t manage your account using N770, since net banking generally needs java. Have a nice holiday!

You are wrong, at least in germany (AFAIK) most online banking dont need java.

Any online bank that requires me to use Java would be -1 one customer. Likewise if they didn't support non-IE browsers - LloydsTSB is perfectly accesible with Firefox and plain HTML.

I'm not aware of any UK bank that forces you to use Java - that's just a brain dead requirement.

Maybe he's talking about javascript, but that's working flawlessly on the 770 (I also made a bank transfer some weeks ago while waiting for a medical response at the hospital ;) )
