What scroll wheel???
 
Just read this artcle http://enterprise.linux.com/article....55217&from=rss and came across this line:

"The touch screen is too small to hold a full Web page, but the 770 makes it easy to scroll up, down, and across the page. You can do it in three different ways: use the physical scroll wheel..."

Would love a scroll wheel, but my 770 appears to be lacking that feature.

Overall I found the article to be poorly written, no mention of the thumb keyboard which I think is awesome, no mention of maemo mapper, that app alone makes the 770 a worth wild purchase.

I don't know, I found it to be for the most part accurate and informative. But then again, I can't get maemo mapper to work...

The next 770 should have two buttons and a scroll wheel on the right side. It'd be powerful for games, browsing, and other applications. </wishlist>

The directional button (sometimes erroneously called a "joystick") is what that article is calling a "scroll wheel". Poorly written is an understatement.

I didn't say it was inaccurate, just poorly written.

It's all opinion. "Poor" is an exaggeration to me. I wouldn't compare it with Shakespeare, but IMO it's unduly harsh to call it "poor"... especially when all the critics can cite is a single example out of a lengthy piece. ;)
