(okay, as I kept typing this e-mail got to more than that...) - Light sensor. I really miss having the backlight controlled by the available light like on my Powerbook. - Accelerometer. I'm not sure exactly what this would be used for, but I think it has interesing applications. Perhaps use with GPS to over time get more exact coordinates? Maybe take "gesture" based browsing to the next level? - Recharge over USB. I realize this is more a "Motorola Thing" rather than a "Nokia Thing." But, for those who travel, reducing the number of power supplies needed is a wonderful gift. - Full MMC slot. I don't know about the space, and I don't really want the device to be bigger, but MMC cards are much easier to find (have several at home already) - Better handwriting recognition. It's usable, but could be much better. It would also be really cool if it was open source. - Voice support. Things like read my IMs or speak a webpage would be nice while doing other things. I'm not aware of any device that has this well integrated and that 'just works.' But, people have talked about it for years and years, I still want it. - Xara. The Xara folks have a really, really, fast renderer without using hardware support. I think it would be really cool to have a version of Xara that would work on the 770. I think they're a company that is trying to figure out where to go with the MS graphics announcement. I don't think they'd port it to the 770 without encouragement from Nokia. I do think it would be a very nice tool on the 770 though. - Bonjour. I've heard (but never tried) that if a bunch of Macs are sitting around, they can find each other and IM using Bonjour. The example relayed to me was at a conference the reporter wasn't close enough to the speaker to get a good picture. So, he got on IM and found someone closer to send him a picture. It would be very cool to do similar stuff, and connect to the same Macs, through the 770. - LEAP support. I'm not sure if Cisco allows anyone to know about LEAP, especially in an open platform. But, it'd be nice to be able to log on to Cisco wireless. Okay, I think that's all on my "somewhat reasonable" list. If you guys figure out how to fit in "peace in the middle east" too I think you'll have everything covered ;) --Ted
