What Reggie said is so. Nokia gave me a 770 for free. I was not expecting this. I was -- and still am -- shocked. So shocked that I have sent an email around asking for advice about the ethics of this. The most I had been expecting was a few free nibbles, soda, and the chance to grill some Nokia reps about the 770. I had absolutely *NO* idea the Very Big Guns behind the 770 would be there. That shocked me too! As for the free nibbles and soda, I hardly had any because for the 2 hours and 20 minutes of the event, I was asking Q after Q! (The VBGs of Nokia didn't get to eat much, either, because their mouths were too busy answering my questions. All that money on food and drink, and hardly any of it eaten or drunk! I feel guilty!)

The 770 remains in its swag bag, as it was given to me. I haven't even removed it. Don't know what I will do yet. It'll probably stay as it is at least until tomorrow. Today is filled with other things right now.

I will be writing up the event from my point of view later this week. Just let me say right now that although some of the things that are intended for the OS upgrade/update were available to see, I didn't personally get to see them. The Nokia rep with these things on his 770 didn't have much contact with me. Reggie probably saw more of the upcoming stuff than I did.
