Review from real-life Nokia 770 user
Friday July 01st 2005, 2:11 am Category: Nokia 770 reviews

Karoliina Salminen, who works for Nokia, described her lifestyle experience with Nokia 770. Granted, she works for the company, but it’s still quite interesting to see real people actually using the prototype N770.

Yes, indeed, it is a quite cool device and I have to admit that it is wonderful thing to have it in the handbag everywhere.

I have the privilege to use a prototype and I am beginning to wonder how anyone could live without :) . Actually I don’t need to use laptop for browsing some web page at home, just tap the 770 screen and the web page is there and when on outside the home, the device seamlessly connects through my GPRS phone (we of course have wlan at home - we have used it for years, even when it was not so cheap, but now anyone can buy a wlan base station since they have now became cheap mass market devices and the wlan is no longer fun of the early adopter persons anymore alone).

And because of the pretty impressive screen resolution (especially with considering the physical dimensions of the device), it is pretty well readable too and is not a reduced web-experience the devices with lower screen resolution tend to offer but fully usable for web browsing, etc. But this is just my humble opinion and I have nothing to do with any product marketing stuff etc. :) I will propably equip my device with a 256 MB or 512 MB RS MMC since I have found it to have also very good quality headphone preamp which works fine with my Sennheiser HD-600 headphones (which are known to have problems with worse quality headphone amplifiers (e.g. in my old Fujitsu Lifebook notebook I have had some distortion problems) because of the abnormally high impedance they have) and of course the connector is a real headphone connector which is cool too, no additional adapters needed.

I don’t have a dedicated mp3 player so far, so I like to use the N770 prototype as a mp3-player.

The playback time when the screen is off seems to be a lot longer than the browsing time before the battery runs out.

Able to drive HD 600 in reasonable is impressive… giving that HD 600 has tough requirment.

Sounds like i can throw my iPod shuffle away with 770…
