News - CompUSA will be carrying the Nokia 770
 
Hey all, I work at CompUSA. Today we received a display from Nokia with a live 770 and a phone the N92 I think. I was so excited to see the Nokia 770. The screen is awesome. I am going to try and update the firmware sometime this week and maybe install some apps to show off. We also have some on order. So hopefully it will be here soon.

Also, the price will be $399.99.

The Truth is out there
 
Just a thought, but would it be completely off base to speculate that, perhaps due to the unexpectedly good buzz and strong pre-orders, Nokia found one or more retail channels (say, CompUSA?) in early Nov? And, perhaps that retailer wanted to sell the 770 at a little higher price point, and not compete with the internet sales site until after the launch at their own stores?

Crazy talk, I know...

CompUSA to Carry the Nokia 770

Nokia previously mentioned that they are in talks with several retailers.
It seems like [LINK: http://www.compusa.com] CompUSA is the first one. The
Nokia 770 now [LINK:

appears at the CompUSA website but is still not available for
order/pre-order. It will sell for $399.99 however, $40 more than the
[LINK:

Nokia USA online store`s price.

Maybe this is the reason why Nokia has benn delaying the Nokia 770. They
need more time to ship truckloads to their retailers and sell them at the
same time....

I would definitely install some of the games you can download from Handful of Nothing , Marcelo Oliveira's site.

Crazy Parking, Battle Gweled, Ice Breaker (my kids' favorites) all really shine, and Doom is, well, a mind-blower. Nako , too.

And AbiWord and Gnumeric if you have to touch the business side.

The other thing I'd do is upload a really wonderful photo to use as a background image on the desktop. You can see what I mean in the blog entry about screen captures.

So I checked on CompUSA's website, and there are 229 stores in the US. Do you think that's where most of the first little batch of 770's went (to be display models)?

WTF?!

When is this going to happen?

Sure, $40 over the web price -- but who cares? Think of the time saved in having one.

Damn, and me just getting all excited over the OQO again...
