Not what I wanted
I checked out the Nokia N770 at one of the retailers and it did not impress me enough to own it as it did not have as extensive features as I was looking for. The size is ok and can be termed as portable but the web capabilities aren’t good enough. I was looking for better PDA functions. Memory too isn’t big enough. A USB controller is definitely required. Photo editing software would also be helpful. The Nokia 770 isn’t a bad internet tablet but it wasn’t good enough for me.

Making internet access a child's play
Nokia 770 is what we technically call an Internal Tablet evreywhere. So does it deliver good results? Very much so. There is a DDR RAM 64 MB space which is more than useful and in addition, you also get a 64 MB card. Screen resoultion is gr8, Bluettoth and USB functionality are at their best. Weight is the major worry. At 230g, it is just a bit too bulky. That aside, 770 is the perfect example of a technically advanced modren tool.
