Sony Mylo Challenges Nokia 770

An anonymous reader writes "Tomshardware says Sony's Tiny Mylo Internet Communicator is out. "The first page of MobilityGuru's July 2006 review of Nokia's 770 WiFi powered Internet based communicator was titled "In A Class Of Its Own." One Month later the title is no longer correct. With the recent announcement of its Mylo (for My life online) personal communicator Sony joined the battle for the hearts, minds and pocketbooks of people whose major means of communication is instant messaging and Web based phone calling."" I've got a 770 on my desk right now (review forthcoming) so I'm curious to see other takes on the genre.

Hmmm, 800x480 display vs 320x240.

I wonder which one is better in general use. The 770's large legible crisp 800x480 colour display, or a PDA-esque 320x240 colour display. The former is good for web browsing, the latter is pretty awful. Now if Sony price it significantly lower than the 770 they might have a chance.

Never mind it is Sony that makes it, a company that can do no good these days.

Comparable?

Hardly.

Nokia: 800x480 screen resolution.
Mylo: 320x240 screen resolution.

When will these companies learn to view the modern web with any sort of comfort you need, at the very least 640x480.
