First Post…

I have a Nokia 770. Finally. After waiting a month or so for nokiausa.com to ship a backordered one, I cancelled that and bought one at CompUSA. I’d rather pay more than reward Nokia’s broken order fulfillment system…

I’ve been looking for a Linux PDA for some time, as a replacement for a Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 that is no longer with us… I wasn’t happy enough with the Zaurus to buy another one, and I waited for some time for another decently supported Linux PDA to come along, with a decent display and the features I felt the Zaurus sorely needed, namely built-in 802.11 and bluetooth, USB host. The 770 was the first thing to come along that really delivered on these (except for the USB host part) and I was interested to hear that it was based on Debian. After seeing the price, it was an easy decision. Sharp had wanted $600 or so for their SL-6000 with similar features (though I miss the hidden thumbboard) and comparing capabilities wiith similarly.priced Palm systems, it seems like a great price.
