Like when reading a pdf document, playing video, audio, usb host?, usb charging?, what opera version, what flash version, java?, what programs is included to utilise webcam, does it have audio recording or video recording, bluetooth headphones? Is there a better text entry, better handwriting recognition. Is it significantly faster? What about existing programs...will it all work on it. You would think that if they bothered to put a webcam on there they'd might as well put a higer res than a 640x480 for taking decent pictures as well.

Anyone interested in a 770? In good condition?
My 770 is already up on eBay

A few of observations in the little time I played with it last night:

This thing is very quick and responsive. - this ALONE is worth upgrading to me.

No application crashes yet and I was running a few concurrently. In the email app, the 770 would annoyingly pause when using the scroll bar - no sign of this.

Speakers are obviously a lot louder with two at the bottom.

I hate the little sleeve that it comes in - even the black pouch from the 770 would have been better than this IMHO. The N800 does feel a lot more sturdier so I'm not too afraid of not having the metal face cover.

The videos I had stored on my 770 do not work on the N800 - it gives me a file format not supported message. I screwed around with this a bit and instead of 352 x 272 .AVI files, I am having to make 480 x 288 .MP4 files to get it to play them.

And as I mentioned before, the N800 is recognizing a 4 GB SD card. I might possibly pick up an 8 GB just out of curiosity to see if it works.

So far I can tell you that I Iove the upgrade and I can't get rid of my 770 fast enough!
