14 DAY TRIAL // Although every Nokia product has been received with equal enthusiasm by users, journalists and analysts, Nokia N770 has "succeeded" to divide them in two sides.
The main argument of those who believe that Nokia didn't make a smart move by offering an equipment that is not a phone (although Nokia N770 has also VoIP capabilities) results from the comparison with Sharp Zaurus, Toshiba Libretto and DataWind PocketSurfer, all of them simple devices that offered Web access, which weren't very popular.
Those who support Nokia 770 are enthusiastic that Nokia gave Linux a chance and implemented it as an operating system.
With a 4 inch display capable of 800x480 pixels and a 220MHz smartphone processor, Nokia N 770 is able to connect to the Internet anytime, anywhere via 802.11b Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The 64MB of memory which offer support for applications and multimedia can be supplemented by a MMC card. All these for only $350.
All these specifications recommend Nokia N 770 as an alternative for those who require Internet access regardless of their location. The first thing skeptics don't take into consideration is that although smartphones try to cram more and more functions, consumers tend to adopt simple gadgets specialized in only one thing, iPod being the best example.
The second thing is that the Linux community has an impressive capability to generate new applications for Linux-based equipments and soon, we might witness an explosion of programs for Nokia N 770.
