What Was She Thinking?!

I let my birthday slip by without telling you about my new toy! Bad girl! It's this thing here:

I thought long and hard about this for about a week before finally purchasing it. After all, I already have a cell phone and PDA, so did I really need another gadget riding around in my handbag? Apparently so. It's NOT a PDA replacement, make no mistake about that. And there are still a few things my PDA has/does better than this 770. But for internet surfing and chatting via GoogleTalk .. I'm lovin it. Like my PDA, it's handy to have while sitting around waiting for your car to be worked on or at the doctor's office, or anywhere else you need to pass the time. As long as you have access to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth via a cellular phone, you're connected. But even if not, there are a couple of games that will help pass the time and it can read PDF files. No camera on this one; the camera came later with the advent of the replacement: Nokia's 800. The onboard memory is rather puny, but you can supplement that with an RS-MMC card up to 1GB. You can use that for virtual memory and to stash music and PDF files. While the 770 can play your MP3 files, it's no i-Pod, and it's forte is streaming Internet radio. Still, for the money ($129 after a $10 Google Checkout discount via Buy.com), it's a really great bargain. More photos in the Photo Album.
