Another 770 review , this one more positive.

I find it VERY interesting that MAC users and PC users are meeting in the middle on this. I shut up about the OS once they went for unix, but the hardware, marketing, and (get a)"lifestyle" drive me nuts.

</rant>

But yes... interesting. I do find it cute how they all find the UI confusing at first Tilt it 90°... look like the dock?

And my favourite review so far. This review got the point of the 770.

"To fully understand this product from Nokia we must first understand its primary usage goal: an internet tablet."

In the first review, I don't understand the comment that it is almost faster to type in a URL than use bookmarks. Quite the opposite--he must have been bringing up the bookmarks in an unusual way.

Some of the 'hot' things at this point, things which will break many of the rules and overturn many of the assumptions...
Wireless USB (The end of wires. Look for it very soon in as an added capability in all the wireless access devices)
802.11n (HDTV-enabling throughput)
Maturity of Network Discovery tools and their integration into applications (avahi.org, for example)
The triumph of the Free Software operating system & tools approach to device design
Nextgen Silicon (TI's OMAP, its 1710 is in the 770) Dramatic improvements coming all the time.
China, it's exploding role and influence in all things tech, especially devices, touchscreen displays, etc..
There's no end to it, really. It's the end of the PC era - the beginning of the network device era, if the defining characteristic is who is doing what with what and where are they doing it. Nintendo DS, Sony PSP, Nokia 770, iPod, etc. ... Anyone who doubts it can just look up the sales numbers on the net and argue with the numbers, in vain. Apple's ipod business has propelled its capital worth beyond Dell.

Probably accessing the bookmarks via the browser menu, instead of simply selecting the icon.

Not a great review for the 770 but atleast he actually USED the 770 before opening his mouth, and seem to be a fair review. Unlike the CNET review which I think they just picked up on what other people thought and never even used it themselves. People need to review what this device was designed for not a review on what they wish it had or never had because the list would never end.
