To kick off the release of Opera’s debut on the Nokia 770, we’re giving away two of these cool little gadgets. Here’s how you win: print out a life-sized picture of the Nokia 770. Show us how you would use the device if you had the real thing. The two submissions the community judge as being the best will have their paper mock-ups replaced by the real thing!

A software upgrade next year will enable the 770 with VoiP telephony. Will the device feature also conventional telephony to become some kind of “intelligent phone” - “handheld” combination?
No. We believe that by not including the conventional telephony we can create more internet focused consumer devices. This gives us advantages in flexibility, speed, and features. This is not your swiss-army-knife but a focused internet product concentrating on email, browsing, internet telephony, instant messaging, online music and video and other such things.
So I started pulling my 770 apart. First I flashed in the developer rootfs, which turned out to be very striped down - so I decided to immediately switch back to standard and add a few things on the way. But first I needed to get the original image back, to do this you have to go here. And by the way, this nice awesome hardware is made in good old Germany!
Germany? Wasn’t it Estonia on FCC label?
I was cuddling up with my girlfriend tonight and we decided to look up some info on the net that we were talking about. The problem was that my laptop was inconveniently out of reach, and would require us to go outside into the cold and leave the nice warm room. It was then that I realized that my Nokia 770 was sitting in my coat pocket. I pulled it out and fired up the web browser, and soon we were Googling our way to knowledge.
Om Malik casually remarks about discovering new wireless networks with his Nokia 770.
InternetTabletTalk added software catalog and wiki to further discuss 770 issues. Tommi Komulainen disagrees with the effort.
