Nancy Cohring, who writes for the TechWeb Technology Network, and allows herself more informal pieces in blog-like atmosphere of Wi-Fi Net News, reports on her helsinki trip:
I’m not totally sure (the PR person I asked couldn’t say for sure) but I think this is the first time that Nokia has offered a peak at the actual device. When it was launched, I think all the coverage came from paper. Anyway, I tried to be level in this review but generally I was pretty disappointed. Everything about it was agonizingly slow. I have no idea if that is because these are early versions or if this is how the final products will be.
And more formal review at Linux Pipeline (don’t miss the second page, where Nancy expands on applications):
I tried streaming Internet radio, listening through the built in speakers, and it worked without a glitch. Users will also be able to plug in head phones. The video I watched was a bit choppy but bearable. Some pre-loaded photographs looked fantastic on the 800 X 480 high-resolution display, which displays 65,536 colors.
I fondled the 770 at LinuxWorld Expo and left a reply to her note at http://wifinetnews.com/archives/005403.html
Hey, why don’t you have a Contact link on this blog? I could have alerted you to some stuff on my “ersatz” 770 blog at http://www.palminfocenter.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27744
