All,
Walt Mossberg, whom I often refer to as the "geek for the common man"
has a review in the July 20th issue of the Wall Street Journal on the
Nokia 770. The review is definitely not complementary except with
respect to www browsing. The slowness of the product is one problem he
mentions. He ends the review with the following remarks:
"If you are a gadget geek, or just want to surf the Web on a small
device with a great screen, the 770 might be for you. But for most
mainstream users, the 770 is a disappointment. With more horsepower
and a revamped interface, it might get closer to the holy grail."
Best Regards,
John Holmblad

Nokia's new tiny computer performs its main function, Web browsing, better than other pocket devices. But it falls down badly on many other tasks.
