Cool Toy – Nokia 770
I know, long time, no post – and now just a short post. Well, things have been pretty busy here, and I have a lot of things to post about, so here goes.
A couple of months ago, a friend showed me his Nokia 770. And I thought, “I don’t need anything like that.” So, it was only a matter of days before I found one on eBay. The bottom line is that it is like a ‘92 Jeep Cherokee – sure there are newer, fancier models out there, but this one got it right.
In a nutshell, it’s a handheld PC that runs Linux. It’s not a PDA by design, but it has a lot of really neat apps that make it a great all around geek must-have. I can sync my Google calendars, read spreadsheets and documents, download Google maps, and even make phone calls with Gizmo!
These listed for several hundred dollars when they first came out, but since they have been superseded by the Nokia 800 and 810, they are a real bargain on eBay.
