regarding Nokia 770 feedback that they have been getting from the early

His information was interesting and I agreed on most points. On the ebook reader they need to support ereader at least. They also must add more memory to this device and keep the price the same.

If will connect to a BT KB easily, I'll pay the $120! Hah!

Let's not forget -- I will have to pay for the next iteration of the 770. Make me *want* to, Nokia!

It does connect to a BT KB already, you just need a xmodmap file.

it needs an upgrade now!

I have high hopes for the next round. I agree that the price/features were right on release, but i find the screen to be overkill- and a low ballat the same time due to app bugs requiting horizontal scrolling anyway.
