"The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is a thin black handheld device with a Linux operating system, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, but, unlike most Nokia handhelds, it's not a cell phone. Instead, it's a fun way to connect to the Internet. The latest version shows promise, but it's still not quite ready for prime time."

I also bought a 770. However the screen died and Nokia support (UK) were horrendous to deal with so I sold it after it was fixed. Apart from that it's a nice device but my point is that there are other factors that need to be polished at Nokia apart from the actual device itself.
It does need a faster CPU and the browser even on the newest version of the OS still occassionally locks up or simple vanishes for seemingly no reason at all. Apart from that the 2006 OS is a marked improvement and a step in the right direction. Nokia lost me forever due to the support experience though, so I am hoping that the competition brings something out soon. If the Sony Mylo had the resolution of the 770 I would be an owner now.

Although I'd disagree with you, as I actually have a N770. By ignoring the reviews and buying it, I've found that I use it all the time. Opera works wonderfully. The screen is awesome. The mail reader is a little slow, but invaluable nonetheless. And it's Linux, so I can do things like mount my shared music folder over nfs and have everything Just Work.
