Nokia 770 Internet Tablet

[Adam K]

how do u type on it?

 

[sneeks]

It's possible to use a stylus or if you press the screen using your finger a larger keypad appears on screen. Handwriting recognition is also included but is a bit crap.

 

[J273]

Are you using a screen protector sneeks?

 

[sneeks]

No I've not ordered one yet. Several posts I'd read said that it had a protector over the screen but I cannot see one there.

Yeah ive orderd one from expansys but not received it though.

Just found this forum for the 770

[sneeks]

I'd browsed that forum but many of the posts were very old, this was a good resource

I'll order a screen protector for it. What do you think of the 770 so far?

[sneeks]

On closer inspection there does appear to be a plastic coating or overlay on the screen but I don't know if that is part of the screen or not

play.com still have them available. Expansys sold all 113 remaining units yesterday.

It's a nice gadget, no idea how often it'll get used but at this price that's not a concern.

 

[b3nje]

give me more pictures

 

[sneeks]

A good link for adding instant messaging sevices to the 770

P.S. The pics would be the same as I've already posted

 

[scott8629]

got my tablet today, impressed so far.
Sowhat are the killer apps for this baby?

I have installed pidgin messenger so far. Loving it.

 

[sneeks]

I installed Maemo Mapper, it's quite a good but basic sat nav option.

Pidgin Messenger is excellent.

I cant even get pidgin installed ...It keeps telling me its missing parts or something along those lines


how did you guys install it?

Thanks

Hiya!

Does this run off the S60 platform? Just wondering, because the screen would be ideal for TomTom and Viewranger.

 

[sneeks]

Unfortunately not It runs on Internet Tablet 2006.

J273 you need to make sure and add all the relevant server addresses within the Application Installer. When you have done that Maemo mapper will appear within the list of available apps and can be installed from there.

I've replaced Internet Tablet 2006 with the 2007 Hacker Edition and it looks far better and has some good improvements. Also appears to be running faster.

Niiiice.....Where can i get this update fella?Also is it possible to go back to 06 if needed?Thanks

 

[MickM]

Is it possible to use the internet off a Mobile somehow? i have got T-Mobile Web 'n Walk but it is crap to use on the phone, wondered if could somehow connect this to it?

Edit: £79.99, when they come back instock at play

 

[sneeks]

Yes you can connect to the net using the bluetooth connection on your phone with the 770, ideal for Web n' Walk

I'm testing it right now but I think it has a few known bugs. You can easily revert to the original version if needed.

[j6 pkp]

just managed to get the PSP connected, finally after 6 months lol.

does it keep dropping out? it says something about memory or something on mine!

 

[sneeks]

OS2007 is cool but i crashes lots so I've returned to 2006 for now.

I'll post here links here so that I can locate them easily when needed again in the future for app management.

[sneeks]

I've just checked my bank account and Expansys have credited £10 into my account which means I got the 770 for £71 inc delivery

I'd emailed them after I had submitted my order with a single use £10 discount code I'd found on another forum but had never heard back from them.

 

[sneeks]

My 2gb memory card arrived yesterday and I have configured the 770 to run from it rather than the main memory. Far faster running now

could you type a walk through as the one's i have seen are poor.

 

[sneeks]

I followed this one word for word, better than two others I had attempted to use.

P.S. If the apt-get install e2fsprogs stage fails then you may need to take the Red pill, not the blue in order to fix it

 

[J273]
