I have the N800. Having never used or seen an N770, I can't say how much faster the newer device is.
Ben's skin is excellent. There are a couple of minor improvements that would be nice, but it does an excellent job. The main problem with using the Nxxx as a remote replacement is the need to leave it on for an extended period so that it's available when required. Whereas the Slim Remote is an always-on, instant device, the startup time of the Nokia is about 1 minute with another minute required to start the browser, load the home page. none of this is anything Ben can "fix" Outside of use as a remote replacement, the web browser is nice. I haven't used it for Skype or Google talk. Canola looks nice also. There's lots of other Linux derived freeware, but installation can be difficult for a non Linux expert. I've tried to install several apps that have failed due to a library being missing, with no mention of how to get/install the required file. However the OS does provide an interface for installing apps that have been officially "blessed" by Nokia. -- oreillymj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37234 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
