Holy cow that's cool!
128MB RAM and a 400Mhz PXA.
Yeah, I wonder if I could find a used 160 keyboard and link it up to the 770 somehow.

That is uncanny but the resolution looks rather low.

I forgot abiout it. Uncanny. But I thought I fondled one at PC Expo back when and I recall it being larger than the 770!

Wow - it actually has comparable specs... though was MUCH more expensive at release:

There were two other models by Samsung, the xp30 and xp40. The s160 sold reecently on ebay for over $450 and from time to time another pops up.

It has exactly the same resolution as the 770. The dpi-ratio is a bit lower than the 770's, but only because the Nexio's screen is slightly bigger.

If you really want to try, it seems Dynamism still has some left :-)

We can hope ThinkOutside makes a Stowaway for 770 owners.
I STILL think third party slider covers are the way to go.

yep, that would be cool. But it better have a TAB key ! :-)
(the Nexio's didn't...)
Something like the keyboard on the clamshell Zaurus, taking advantage of the extra width, would be a good start. Not to mention a Psion Series5 (*sigh*)

So yes, it's, like, three years old and discontinued. Yes, it was never sold (officially) outside Asia. Yes, it "ran" Windows CE.Net (yuk). And yes, it was more like 1300$ than 300$... :-)
But look at the form factor, the size, the general layout (even the buttons!), the screen and resolution... the builtin Wifi (no BT though)... isn't this strange ? That baby was ahead of its time...
<BULLHORN ON>
...AND IT HAD AN OPTIONAL ULTRATHIN KEYBOARD AS A SCREEN COVER INSTEAD OF A STUPID COSMIC RAY SHIELDING -- NOKIA, COULDN'T YOU HAVE COPIED THAT TOO ?????????????

There, I said it :-)
