Quoting Jan Wildeboer <jan.wildeboer at gmx.de>: > Hi all, > > as I am one of th e"lucky" 500 I would like to share my first > experiences with the N770. Be careful, this is just a raw collection > jotted down without really much thinking. > > OK, so off we go :-) > > 1. Ordering was as easy as 1-2-3. After I got my promotion code, I went > to the online store. Everything went as expected and ofcourse I ordered > express delivery, dammit - I waited long enough ;-) > > 2. Finally it arrived. First impression: This is a normal retail package > of a productr in regular production. There was nothing special included. > I was thinking there would be some CD enclosed with the maemo > development environment or a CD with some developers documentation, but > nothing was to be found. > > 3. Connecting to the WLAN was simple, it listed all available networks, > asked me for the WEP-Key and I was online. > > 4. Browsing was a no-brainer, the screen *is* awesome. But surfing to > http://wetter.de showed the first problem. The N770 ran out of memory. I > guess that is due to the many little flash stuff on that site (select > munich as a city and something like 20 flash movies are loaded). > > 5. Network connection has its little problems. While scanning for > networks (the little Search ... window is active) you can already click > on one of the found networks. If you do that however, it won't connect. > You *must* wait for the "search" window to disappear before you select a > network to connect to. > > 6. Connecting to the Laptop. I am running a Fedora Core 4 Laptop (IBM > X31 to be precise). After I connected the N770 to USB I tailed > /var/log/messages on the laptop - nothing. Im mean really nothing. Seems > you must send some sort of Wake-Up Signal via USB. > > 7. Battery time. Too early to say something. I will cycle the battery a > few times. Right now it lasts some 3 hours (as promised). > > 8. Handling. A neat desktop stand is included, but the N770 is too close > to th edesktop. When you try to connect the USB-cable and then put it in > the stand it doesn't fit. Let's hope for cool cradles that also charge > the N770. > > 9. Bluetooth. Worked with my Nokia6310. However, it is not of great use. > I cannot sync my address-book with the N770. I am waiting for the GPE > address book, maybe that will help. > > 10. Overall impression. It works. But it is not really complete IMHO. > The RAM ist too small. It is quite slow sometimes. But it is for sure a > perfect must-have for any geek out there. > > Waiting for comments, > > Jan Wildeboer > _______________________________________________ > maemo-users mailing list > maemo-users at maemo.org > https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users >
