slacker, I'm glad to hear you gave the 770 a chance - I've been reading about it a lot and will probably buy one soon. The concept of a pure internet tablet fits me perfectly. I have wifi at home and in so many other places.
The screen is really impressive, as is the price. Wish it had a little bit more muscle but..
Lars

The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet and the 2nd Gen

Slacker,

<< I finally bought a 770 a few weeks ago. I absolutely love it! >>

Cool! Glad to hear that you like it. So many reviewers are expecting it to be something it simply isn't yet, and won't be for awhile.

I've been tempted, but will probably wait for the 2nd cut at it.

Have you setup and are you using any RSS feeds? That's a feature I think I'd really like.

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.

>> Google, Nokia Plan Hand-Held Internet Browser

Google Inc. and handset maker Nokia Corp. said Friday they're planning to launch a jointly-created hand-held Internet browser, according to reports. Mountain View-based Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) will load the device with its Google Talk service, which lets users converse and exchange instant messages. Espoo, Finland-based Nokia will provide the hand-held device, which uses WiFi rather than cellphone networks. Reports said the companies expect the device to cost about $390. <<
