I am quite content with the design of 770, black and all, and from the photos the 800 looks sortof cheap, like any chinese MP4 player. I guess it would be cool to watch youtube and the like directly, but as long as we do not know whether we can watch streamed video in a better fashion and all the other aforementioned critical questions I do not see the cruciall advantage of the new device - furthermore, Nokia is running a risk by luring normal consumers into buying this OS driven beta-device. Itīs pricier than an often subsidized Symbian smartphone and as many have pointed out it lacks the premier PIM functions of a Windows device, but consumers are then being left alone with the slowly advancing applications offering. I bought mine to goof around with while not paying for GPRS/UMTS charges PLUS having a nice screen&sound is nice too. Its great to surf a few pages lying in bed during nighttime or in a cafe with free wifi. And the streaming solutions look promising. No need to shelf it after only one year. I will sit this one out and will have a look at the n900 in 2008.
