I want to chime in here. In my (moderately frugal) opinion, the Nokia 770 as merely an "Internet Tablet" (web browser, email client, and web-based media player) in not worth $359 (or even the $309 that I paid for it).

However, the possibilities that are opened because it is linux-based and very flexible have made it a very worthwhile purchase for me. I have gotten more out of this little device than Nokia ever intended, and I can't wait to glean even more out of it when the 2006 OS updates start coming.

As for Mike Cane, I hate to talk down about someone, especially someone who (at a time) shared my enthusiasm for the Nokia 770, but his constant need to "fondle" every "lusty" electronic device in sight and become the leading off-topic thread starter have led me to virtually ignore his posts, especially the ones to his "live blog" bragging about his free Nokia 770 five times on the first page (and now he has two free Nokia 770s).

Mike Cane can do whatever he wants with his free Nokia 770s - I'm going to continue having fun with it and getting the most for my hard-earned (and well-spent) money.
