Excuse me, but the P910 and its predecessors do not have good HWR. Strictly speaking they don't have HWR at all: they have character recognition, essentially the same thing as Palms Graffiti.
OK...I don't want to get into a religious war over what is HWR. To me, character recognition is HWR. If you say HWR needs dictionary support, that's fine.

My point is that the current versions of the 770 OS have neither. I am able to sit in meetings and keep up with notes with My SE P910. I am stuck correcting problems with my 770 -- either OS. HWR or character recognition, you pick. It still could be a lot better on the 770.

And my original point was that it can be done. And in a note-taking application, it would be great on the 770.

You do realize that in the paragraph above you are describing the Newton's Notepad application, don't you?
That could be. I was actually describing GoBinder on Windows Tablet PC. I'm not a fan of Windows; I have to use Tablet PCs for work. But GoBinder is a very nice application that would make the 770 glow if it were squeezed into it.

While I don't go in for Newton-worship, I did own a Newton back in the day and fell in love with many of its features (which are still waiting to be duplicated). The 770 has the potential to be groundbreaking like the Newton. It's not there yet. I hope Nokia and other developers can get it there.
