For some the tablets work, for some they don't. I am among the latter. I do know my way around Unix but I am not a SysOp nor do I intend to become one. I wanted/needed a PIM/PDA system with some Internet-Abilities, text entry/storage abitities and PDF viewer capabilities. The "programmabel" was a nice add-on, the "Runs I-Want-to-be Unix" OS was acceptabel.

Sadly the 770 failed in most aspects for me and while text entry might be solved with the 810(1) if the keyboard is useabel but other aspects do not work out:

+ I have to carry a seperat phone
+ Since my company uses Exchange (and will do so until doomsday) I can't easily sync and back-sync data to the Nokia
+ Complex PDF files render rather slowly on the N770
+ The basic browser is lousy. The add-on ones are so-so
+ The Office package (AbiWord) was so-so and often unstabel
+ Software Installation was a PITA
+ Software Development was restricted to C and Phyton, no JAVA

The problems resulted in the necessity to carry a phone, the tablet and a PDA and finding space for all in a business suit.

Well, the 770 is electronic trash by now, I have a MDA that can

+ Phone
+ Sync with Outlook
+ Show PDF-files if necessary
+ Can do JAVA
+ Can do .NET

Much handier than the Tablets.





(1) Using a BT-Keyboard was not the solution. I don't wear cargo pants so carrying one means carrying a attache case. And if I carry that, I might just as well bring a EEE or similar subnotebooks
