    typical uninformed idiots at T3 - factually incorrect, and total failure to recognise the groundbreaking device.

    but I thought people might be amused/perplexed/angered!!

    No touchscreen, no Bluetooth, wait... did the reviewer actually ever see a 770 in real life???

    WSOD, anyone?

    I certainly would not buy a 770 as a present for anyone, unless:
    a) I hated them, or
    b) I never planned to speak to them again, anyway.

    quite a lot of the time I think T3 base their reviews on a five minute session with a pre-production model - perhaps even a part working variant - and write up a review with very little technical skill

    my guess is this is the penalty of being primarily a magazine which is sold on paper, so in order to make deadlines and not be beaten to the scoup has to rush everything.

    I wish I could say I was surprised by the reviewer's idiocy, but...

    I've owned three 770s. One got a WSOD right away and was replaced by Nokia. The other has worked just fine for years, as has the replacement 770.

    If they're been used for a while, chances are they're just fine.

    I own two. Never have a WSOD unless I...

    a. Install themes
    b. Use a bad Hacker Edition not updated with a weak battery
    c. Use a bad battery

    Even then it's temp.

    I was perplexed.

    I love the 770's.

    Recently WiFi in my 770 broke. Now it's an offline tablet.
    But it lasted four years and was a good companion.
