Likes:
- Brightness of the screen, I have to turn it down in the evening not to be blinded by the light (.. "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night", Manfred Mann, in case you're wondering).
- The touch-screen is very responsive.
- Resolution of the screen is really good (no news there)
- I like the default font for some reason, nice and smooth (Nokia Sans, pretty similar to Verdana).
- Wifi connect/disconnect icon is conveniently located. Easy to switch it off to extend the battery life.
- Size and weight are perfect. Feels solid and it's truely pocketable.
- No phone. If you want a phone, get a phone. If you want to walk around with a pc on your ear, be my guest but get an HTC Universal instead. Nokia used to sell timber, an internet tablet is not such a great leap from mobile phones, get over it.

Dislikes:
- Default browser font is too small and cannot be changed as far as I am aware. This makes it unnecessarily inconvenient to read long text files. I plan to use the 770 as a portable reading device for text documents through the browser or pdf reader allowing me to walk around or lie down, hang upside down or whatever, anything but sit down all day long. Try reading a 10-K on sec.gov and you'll know what I mean. The width of the screen is similar to typical text width of a pocket book (that is the page width excluding the margins) so it's quite sufficient. But on full screen mode there are about twenty words per line on the Nokia as compared to around ten words in a pocket book. I have to zoom to 200% to get the same font size but this would require me to scroll the page left and right to be able to read it, not a good idea. This problem could easily be resolved by allowing the minimum font size to be determined by the user.
- So far the battery life has been sufficient because I have been using it exclusively at home. However, I foresee this becoming a problem on trips. I am not looking forward to carrying around even more cables. I know this is a problem that is not easily resolved. Moore's Law does not apply to batteries.
- The screen should cover the whole device in the next generation. Take a cue from the iPod video mock-ups on the net. The buttons on the front can easily be moved to the sides.
- A scroll wheel on the side, bottom or top of the tablet would make scrolling through websites a lot easier.

Favorite apps:
- so far I've been using Opera exclusively. I have not even set up the email client as I use Gmail. There's no need for an email client these days.
