This statement has me scratching my head, esp. since you say that the
default skin seems to perform just fine. IMHO, you should *only* see
performance improvements with Nokia770 over default on a PC. There's
tons of AJAX enhancements to make responsiveness better when using that
skin. It doesn't make sense that it should be slower than the default
skin from the same browser/PC. Anyone else see this?

I don't think there's a person on the planet that would give the Nokia
770 an unequivocal thumbs-up, but it does have a lot of whiz-bang
features.

pros:
fantastic screen resolution kicks the pants off of most if not all
handheld devices on the market
opera browser renders pages beautifully
VOIP with gizmo project works quite well
if you format the video properly, watching vids is quite nice (and what
the 770 can handle improves with each update)
newest 2006OS is pretty stable, and light years ahead of the original
2005OS
streaming audio works well
open-source model means tons and tons of free apps to run

cons:
performance can be an issue for some. i'm patient and find it to be
reasonable, but not great
delay on waking from sleep, auto shutoff of wireless and/or screen
makes using it as a slimserver remote somewhat limited
if i work at it, i can crash it
it's right-handed
i want it to be a streaming video client, but i have to load vids
locally to view them

the 770 is a first-of-its-kind device. With it comes all of the baggage
associated with such a gadget.

cheers,
