I am currently looking for an alternative to my PDA for reading e-books. I was very intrigued by the first previews of the Nokia 770 device, especially because it comes Linux-flavored.

Can anyone tell me when it will hit the market?

The official date: Q3 2005. In practice that'd mean not earlier than the end of September.

That is not too bad considering that we already have mid-July. I should perhaps wait a bit longer then (even though it pains me to wait...).

Take a look at Nokia USA.... It seems they are now selling it in the states
