That's what I have been interested in. Nokia has a Unix box (as I have heard. not yet having seen and held one) a beautiful screen, just larger than the A-Phone, err IPhone, and with Gigwise memory cards, camera, voice, ability to take an external keyboard via Bluetooth.
It's the Nokia N800, which has the Linux that the 770 does not, has the memory that the 770 does not, and is due to have Skype this summer.
As well as wireless, it can use Bluetooth to picl up the internet through your already owned, smaller more flexible dedicated phone. The advantage to me is flexibility. By using Linux Nokia has allied itself with the opensource community from the getgo.
I have only guesses as to why this wonderful device is off the radar of "most folks". One guess is the mammoth advertising budget of Apple. And this came out first. I find it very attractive. But then I remember the Psion and see how wonders can get dropped off from the community consciousness.
I'm looking for comments that compare the two, the Apple and the Nokia. I have heard complainta about the IPhone's lacks as an IPod, but this week sat in both levels of the IPhone class at the AppleStore and it is certainly cool.
