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.
