Worst Christmas present because: OK, so it had WiFi. But that was pretty much it. No touchscreen, no Bluetooth, no battery life longer than three hours. Overall, a good idea but not really thought through by Nokia, even though the company still persists with the range.

WSOD, anyone?
I certainly would not buy a 770 as a present for anyone, unless:
a) I hated them, or
b) I never planned to speak to them again, anyway.

No touchscreen, no Bluetooth, wait... did the reviewer actually ever see a 770 in real life???
my guess is this is the penalty of being primarily a magazine which is sold on paper, so in order to make deadlines and not be beaten to the scoup has to rush everything.

If they're been used for a while, chances are they're just fine.

I own two. Never have a WSOD unless I...
a. Install themes
b. Use a bad Hacker Edition not updated with a weak battery
c. Use a bad battery
Even then it's temp.

typical uninformed idiots at T3 - factually incorrect, and total failure to recognise the groundbreaking device.
but I thought people might be amused/perplexed/angered!!
No Bluetooth and touch screen my foot!
I love the 770's.

Recently WiFi in my 770 broke. Now it's an offline tablet. 
But it lasted four years and was a good companion.
