But if they are not exactly like the pictures and the description on Amazon, I will have to break out the side-cutters, tape and the meter and do some cut/splicing
As the USB socket in the 770 is not physically connected to the power, it's not going to happen, at least not without major surgery on your 770.

I must admit, I am very impressed with the feel of the device. The screen is beautiful, the response is decent, and the application base is good and getting better.
The only downsides are the lack of storage space (fixed with a 2GB card and patch) and the lack of a keyboard.
I immediately installed Mapper 1.3.2 and paired the device with my GPS unit.
I was miffed that my Sprint PPC-6700 would not pair with it to allow for downloading maps on the fly,

My issue with Opera has to do with my bank (Wells Fargo) not allowing its use in account access. That stinks. No problem with any of my regular sites. Come on, WF, relax!

Why don't you install minimo (MiniMozilla). It is at the repositories. Ask for help if you don't find it.

Salut.

Wells Fargo won't allow that browser, either.

That's when you tell them they are incompetent and are driving away business.

Their site is probably looking at the user agent field that your browser sends. On some browsers, you can set this field to look like IE or Firefox.

Update: according to Opera's web site, you can go to "File -> Preferences -> Network settings" in Opera to change the user agent. I don't know if this is the right path for the Nokia version of Opera, but it should be somewhere in there.

BTW, has anyone gotten this version of Minimo to work on the most recent OS 2006 (version 49)? I never got it to work on the older OS 2006, but I'm about to make the switch to 49, so I'll give it another try...

Mine just arrived today:

Likes:
As stated by everyone and their brother...the screen is crisp and clean.
Not nearly as sluggish as it's been made out to be by some reviewers (granted I've had it for 10 minutes and haven't really played with it at all)
Good, quality feel to it. It feels solid, and though the protective cover feels more like plastic than brushed metal, after leaving the tablet sit down here in the basement for a few moments it's obvious that it is, in fact, metal.
Paired flawlessly with my Nokia 6165i (granted, I have no data service...so...whatever)
Perfect size to take with me wherever I go.
The touch sensor is accurate enough that I can use my thumbs for just about anything

Dislikes:
I wish the stand was oriented more upright.
I don't have WiFi here in the house, and everyone around me runs encryption (I live in a neighborhood full of old people...what were the odds?)
The stylus feels a little weird, but i'm sure I'll get used to it.
Did i mention how lame it is to not have any unprotected networks around?

Not quite. It's aluminum anodized plastic, ie, hard plastic with a very thin coating of aluminum. I mean REALLY thin. It's very unusual to anodize plastic... usually it would be painted or powder coated.

And are you one of the Gearbox refugees? If not I'll let you go on the "old people" remark.
