Geekage

Jul 10, 2007 11:57

The Nokia 770 is the coolest toy ever (except, possibly, the Nokia 800, but I have the 770 and it was dirt cheap). The only thing I would wish more is that it could share an internet connection over USB since I don't have a wireless network in the apartment (I know, I have to turn over my geek card). (Update: You can do this, it just requires much technical muckery, which I may do tonight.)

I just paired the Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard with it, and the combination of the two will make a quite workable portable workstation on the 18 hour plane ride (the 770 gets 5-6 hours of continuous use, but I'm hoping to stretch that out by turning down the display settings and leaving the Wi-Fi off).

A lot of the complaints I read about the 770 seem to be outdated with the Internet OS 2006 update (you can use it while charging), though it is inconvenient not to do USB connecion sharing.

Gizmo is installed and running, so when I have wireless access you can call me on Gizmo (Email me if you would like my Gizmo and Skype usernames; I would post them here but I get quite enough instant messenger spam already).

I still cannot connect to GMail with it, so I am forced to use the shitty built-in mail client. Oh well.

24 hours until I leave for Toronto, and then India! I am procrastinating on packing, can you tell?
