Roger Sperberg over at InternetTabletTalk shares his strategies for making 770 more useful:
So then came Joe, the text editor, and vim. What, a text-to-speech engine? Flite went on. And Granule for flash cards. The GPE-PIM trio. Happiest day? When Tomas Frydrych casually let slip how to install fonts. I put in a dozen I can’t live without (Maiandra, Trebuchet MS, Gardiner’s hieroglyphs). Comfort food for the eyes: Look, I control how text looks on-screen! I tried things out, I removed what i wasn’t using.
Henri Bergius, a motorcycle and open source enthusiast, according to the blog tagline, desribes his first day with Nokia 770:
Since the device runs Linux, I’m also looking forward to developing some Python applications to make mobile work easier. Especially I’m interested in exploring the use of position information to create the real-world Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galary. Placeopedia RSS feed will be an excellent starting point for finding “information near you”.

Neil McAllister from InfoWorld joined the discussion after quite a few comments were posted regarding InfoWorld’s fairly negative review of 770. Nokia 770 being a new product category? It ain’t quite so, says Neal:
As for the 770 being an entirely new product category, though… Nokia keeps saying so, but I’m not totally sure I buy it. We’ve seen lots of products like this one before. We call them PDAs. Nokia gave this PDA a better screen than any of the others we’ve seen so far, but it left out the most important part: the PDA software.
