PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless I just published a review of the Nokia 770 Linux-based internet tablet over at TuxTops.com. For the past week I got to fully test the hardware and software supplied and then evaluate the strongs and weak points of the product.

Power management

Eugenia's comments about power management are simply incorrect. I have no idea what was wrong with her unit, but I charge mine twice or three times a week, and use it daily for checking traffic reports, etc. It doesn't have more than three hours of browsing time, but it can easily sleep a week if it's not used much. I just wanted to clear that up before eveyone decides the unit is worthless.

I also have the 770 and my power management is just fine. Also, you can turn the display off by sliding the cover over it.

My Palm Tungsten E2 only needs recharging about once a month, and I use it daily.

Yeah, it's not a palm pilot. Eugenia's review made it sound like one has to constantly turn it on and off, which isn't the case (at least for me). I doubt that the memory has a low-power setting, and I'm sure there are plenty of other tricks Palm has learned in its ten+ years of experience that Nokia didn't figure out in its first handheld of this type.
