Oh, BTW: Please be cautious with the names... it is *not* N770, it is

device... just as a hint...

Dear god, are you serious?

I've been telling people that this new Nokia 770 thing looks amazing
for months now. Is it possible that I've suggesting they buy some
random phone?

PS: If not, dearest Nokia employers: my rates for being a common-sense
"sounding board" are very reasonable. Send me a few grand via paypal
(US or EU dollars, your choice), and I'll tell you if your product
launch is doomed due to idiotic screw-ups.

I know you're joking, but I think Nokia should take you up on it. There is no catchy name for it. I can't say: "I'm going to the coffee shop with my seven-seventy" or even "Internet tablet". It is just so much longer than something like "cell", which then has the model number of "N770". I'll probably end up calling mine "My Maemo" -- I realize the incorrectness of this, but it is so much better than "seven-seventy". I'm not sure if this is just new ground for Nokia marketing, but it would be a shame if the device was advertised with such a sterile name.
