Nokia 770 experiences until now...

After a few days with the Nokia 770 now a short resume:



+ design, screen, weight, haptic, 3,5mm audio connector, standard

mini USB connector mounts the included RS-MMC as an USB drive on Macs, PCs...



- PDF could be really useful, if it supported portrait mode, right now you have to scroll endlessly

- connectivity is NOT perfect, my first tries with 2 WLAN hotspots failed, as well as the Bluetooth connection to my Nokia6630 mobile phone

- speed is Not an option, feels much slower than my MDApro, and also much slower than some very old Palms



- no keyboard (a slide out keyboard a la OQO or HTC would be great!)

- RS-MMC just SUCKS! Why can´t they use standard MMCs or SDs, some Nokia devices have MMCs, some RS-MMCs, even others now sport miniSD cards. What a mess!

- no standard Nokia power connector! For years all Nokia phones had the same round connector for charging purposes. Now some Nokias have the new thinner connector. Even though there are adapters, now there is one more part to loose. BTW: they already have a standard mini USB connector, why not use it for charging, too?



All in all: great try for a 1.0 release. If they keep improving the hardware and the software, the next Nokia Linux tablet might be a mega seller! Hint: SD/MMC slot, more RAM, faster CPU, portrait mode, standard Nokia power connector or USB charging!)
