Nokia 770 reviewed by PC Mag

You know a gadget is on its way to mainstream when it's being reviewed by PC Mag. So if you want to get the critically acclaimed Nokia 770 for the mere reason of being l33t, you may already be too late. Also, the Nokia received only mediocre ratings from the reviewer:

Pros:
Convenient way to Web-surf at home. Awesome screen. Solid design. Good battery life.

Cons:
Buggy. No hard keyboard. Video player is picky. Text can be very small.

Bottom Line:
Though its many bugs may cause average consumers dismay, early adopters and developers will love this product.

This is a well thought of design, but probably poorly executed. Internet PAD is not novel; many companies, including Apple, are after the same market share.

770 can be greatly enhanced if they add a useful text entry such as MessagEase (www.exideas.com) to make it actually useful.
