Have you setup and are you using any RSS feeds? That's a feature I think I'd really like. I've set up some feeds and it seems to work fairly well. I havent used RSS feeds much on my computer so it is hard for me to compare but it seems like it would be a useful little app when outside of WiFi range. Have you loaded any 3rd party apps? I'm not sure how plentiful they are yet, but I think that is part of the devices appeal -- both for developers and end users -- and hopefully the new gen device will accept them without modification. I've only set up FBRreader which functions nicely as an ebook reader. This (along with video) really shows off probably the biggest advantage of the 770....the screen blows the doors off almost any other portable device. Nokia might have put an underpowered processor into the unit, but they spared no expense with the screen. I've looked at some other apps, but honestly most of them seem to be created by programmers just trying to see what the device is capable of....I love video games, but I have no desire to play Doom on my 770 <g>. OTOH, I would love to be able to use Orb or a similar service. I think some people have managed to set that up but at some pretty low bit rates. Another service that takes advantage of the wireless connection is Avennu....which allows you to access your home computer's files wirelessly (though I do sort of wonder about security with this). If Nokia manages to push this device beyond its initial niche, I could really see some cool apps being developed. I've also totally turned around my stance on public WiFi. I want tax payer supported WiFi coverage in every major city :-). Slacker
