Just got back from Malacca, which generally was another food fest; rained a lot, but I got to practice shooting photos without looking thru the shutter.<\/p>\n<p>Friday was a good day. DHL came with a package from the company, and about ten minutes later I get a call stating that there&#8217;s another package with a possibly incorrect address. Its from Nokia. I get all excited.<\/p>\n<p>At 2.30pm, it arrives. Pity, I left the house earlier. I finally get to it at around 10.30pm, after braving my way past the traffic jams, flooding and the closing of the NKVE at the Klang entrance. Hello Nokia 770! Anyways, first impressions time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Was generally hard to open the RS-MMC slot; once opened, closing it was a lot easier.<\/li>\n<li>Didn&#8217;t realise that there was a stylus at the back, but picked the one from the box instead (i.e. the spare).<\/li>\n<li>First time setup was intuitive; even paired up with my Bluetooth phone. Then it was time to get on WiFi. Also a breeze.<\/li>\n<li>By not reading the manual, it seemed that the Power button was what to press regularly. Seems closing the case puts the device into some sort of standby mode.<\/li>\n<li>How do I let it install and run files of the RS-MMC card? If it can work (without me symlinking \/var\/lib\/install to the \/media\/mmc) I might look for a larger RS-MMC card.<\/li>\n<li>It has Bluetooth over the Tungsten C that I have, which is a clear boon. It also has a larger screen. But the virtual keyboard isn&#8217;t something I enjoy.<\/li>\n<li>They included Ice Age 2&#8217;s trailer, which was nice for video. The online streaming radio station is highly neat, as the music that comes out of it is actually nice\/modern.<\/li>\n<li>Some apps seem to crash. Debug mode or log files will be handy to see why.<\/li>\n<li>Installing apps via the Internet works a charm. They&#8217;re .deb&#8217;s, and you double-click it from the file manager, and they just work. Impressive! I now have Xterm, vim, pine, and Abiword installed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Seeing that I managed to use an Internet tablet without the Internet for the weekend was not too bad. And the battery hasn&#8217;t even died yet. Impressive. I now also need to setup Scratchbox on my FC-4 box (again), re-flash the N770, and find a screen protector for it. I think the latter is going to be a challenge seeing that these devices aren&#8217;t available, in general, at least in this part of the world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20The%20770%20arrives&body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bytebot.net%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2006%2F01%2F07%2Fthe-770-arrives&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
