And can I have some? The /lack/ of built-in cellular capability leads to less complexity, telco control and the frankly *brilliant* property that when I upgrade my phone (which I'm always going to carry, anyway - it's not large) from GPRS->3G or 3G->HSDPA my 770/800 instantly gets the extra bandwidth. It's also (along with the Seagate D.A.V.E and that other Bluetooth/wifi hard drive that I can't remember the name of) the start of the /proper/ use of Bluetooth to create a /real/ Personal Area Network where your data is on a small brick in your bag, your "connectivity cube" (talking wifi, wimax and 3G) is in your pocket, your voice headset sits in $ORIFICE (suggestion: ear) and it's all tied together over Bluetooth or its successor. I don't *want* convergence: I want quality devices doing their individual jobs, with no duplication of function. I don't *want* a browser on my phone: I want it on my 770/800! Ditto IM clients, VOIP (which shouldn't, in my ideal PAN-filled world, live on the 770/800) and video players. Nokia: if you could have all this working by - let's say - 1Q2008, I'd be grateful. Q2 would be acceptable, however ... Ta.
