Nokia 770 Internet Tablet

The unit measures 5.5in. x 3.1in x 0.7in and weighs about 8 ounces which is not too bad. The LCD display is 4.13in with 16-bit color at 800x480 and displays pictures beautifully. This is not a Windows Mobile device, it runs Nokia’s Internet Tablet 2005 Software Edition which is a modified version of Debian. It comes with a fair amount of bundled applications including a web browser, Opera, e-mail client, audio and video players, image viewer, RSS reader, Internet radio player.

What is in the box?

The 770 comes with a quick start guide, instruction manual, pouch, extra stylus, AC adapter, small stand, 64MB RS-MMC card, and USB cable. The stand is designed so that you can stand the unit up. I would have liked to see a cradle included with it to make it easier to charge. I am always wary of plugging adapters into a device for fear of breaking the connector. I also love the fact that the unit has a metal case that protects the screen. The unit slides in screen first, when you remove the device and spin it 180 degrees the device slides back into the case and you can now see the screen.

Conclusion

For the person that is looking for a small device to surf the Internet and check email this is a great tool. It is easy to use and I had no problems pairing it with my Bluetooth enabled phone or my home wireless network. However, I would have to say that this is not geared toward a power user. I think with some improvements this could possibly be a great device.

Personally I need a converged device that will do everything I need to enhance my productivity. I see this more of an Internet appliance. I would definitely use this device around the house to keep up with news feeds and browsing the web. The device is small, handy and does what it advertises.
