We have rounded-up pre-launch reviews and thoughts of the Nokia 770 from different sites. Each one has a direct link to the full article.

Mobile Gazette: Nokia770 Internet Tablet (link) :

"The most frustrating thing about the Nokia 770 is going to be the wait. Frankly, we at Mobile Gazette are drooling at this device and think that this could make significant inroads into the ultraportable laptop market, as well as being the ultimate accessory for your phone."

The Silent Penguin:  Nokia 770 - worth 350 $? (link):

"Now Nokia, this is the right direction. But please, please make one the size of - oh - A4 that I can hang on the wall in the kitchen and use as the family messaging board and calendar. Please."

Karoliina Salminen: Nokia 770 Review (link):

"Yes, indeed, it is a quite cool device and I have to admit that it is wonderful thing to have it in the handbag everywhere." 

Jussi Pakkanen: Hands on with the 770 (link):

"The conlusion: I like it. A lot. Can’t wait to get my own machine." 

jkOnTheRun: Mike Cane on the Nokia 770 (link): 

"I think the 770 fits in an unforeseen gap between the PDA as we’ve known it and handheld computers such as the OQO and the Sony U.  It offers just enough features to make it possible to graduate from a small-screen PDA without having to incur the expense and headaches of a handheld computer.  And knowing Nokia, with its determination to create a market and then to fiercely defend it, the 770 will probably change the face of wireless communications and possibly even instill in people a curiosity about having Linux as their desktop operating system.  I think, as the saying goes, this will change everything."

"If Maemo lives up to its potential, this has the potential to be the best example we’ve seen yet of a successful commercial/opensource venture." 

Linux Pipeline: Sneak Preview: Nokia’s 770 Internet Tablet (link): 

"The key at the end of the day will be whether there is a market for this particular type of single-use device. I overheard another conference attendee say that he wasn’t sure exactly what the 770 had over a PDA. He was right — it doesn’t have much more than a PDA. But isn’t that the point?" 

Cyrus’ Weblog: Thoughts about Nokia 770 (link):

"After all, it’s a gadget that I might want to buy, but I don’t know if I would spend $350 bucks on that. Time will tell.." 

The Gadget Blog: Nokia 770 Internet Gadget (link):

"Got to hand it to Nokia. Their new Nokia 770 Internet Gadget looks really practical and the launch price of USD$349 will make it a good Tablet PC replacement."

"While it uses a chip similar to those found in personal digital assistants, the 8.1-ounce device is not intended for business travelers, and it will not have an address book or a calendar. Instead, it is designed for the casual Web browser, at home or at the nearest cybercafe." 

San Franciso Chronicle: Nokia’s wireless Internet tablet comes without a phone (link): 

"Analysts are not quite sure what the prospects will be for the 770." 

Hack A Day: Nokia 770 SDK (link):

" If Nokia does a good job building in support for Microsoft htpcs, iTunes control, and Tivo control I think this device will be certain to take off. I’d like to see someone make an electronic programming guide that you could use to change the channels on the tv and schedule recordings instead of the intrusive on-screen-displays used by most cable boxes. If anything it will be nice to hang out on the couch reading news and ebooks without having to use my genital scorching Dell." 

Gizmodo:  Nokia 770 Makes Us Care About Open Source Again (link):

"As long as they haven’t jailed developers from accessing every bit of the hardware available—and they’ll need to, as the OMAP processor isn’t exactly a powerhouse—then the 770 could end up being a really cool mobile computing platform that serves as the mobile media and connectivity device the PSP should have been, if Sony hadn’t locked out developers." 

Vincent Oberle: Nokia 770, it just feels right (link):

"Sexy design, nice price and open-development platform, this will be a winner!" 

Martin Geddes: People Connected (link):

"Gee, I want one." 

Om Malik: Nokia 770: Not As Bad As It Seems (link): 

"Russell, and others have bemoaned that Nokia is going to have to support yet another OS. Given the track record, you could put me in that camp. However, the linux under pinnings make it more extensible. I think there will be more hacks for this device very quickly. With WiFi becoming common place, at least on school and college campuses, this one has a potential with the next generation." 

Russell Beattie: Nokia 770 Internet Tablet Thoughts (link):

"I like the idea of Linux (especially Debian), I like the screen size and the general focus of the device. I don’t like the lack of decent storage, the missing cellular connectivity and the weight.

You know I’ll end up buying one eventually though, right?" 

ZDNet: Nokia N770 Internet Tablet (link):

"he Nokia N770 Internet Tablet is no doubt an interesting device that holds a lot of promise. Considering the ubiquitous nature of wireless hot spots, the N770 could be useful. That said, while smart phones grow ever smarter, the need to lug around multiple devices is shrinking, and we wonder if the N770 has enough appeal to lure in buyers." 

RichiBlog: Nokia 770 Platform Sucks (link): 

"Shame. Much of the industrial design is very compelling. It’s been let down by sucky execution." 

PC Magazine: Nokia’s Web Tablet: We’re Skeptical (link):

"Nokia is a smart company, and I like a lot of what they do. But it’s going to take a lot to change my mind on this one."

Dave’s House: Nokia has my attention now (link):

"This may prove very useful. I’ll have to keep an eye on it…"

Silicon Valley Sleuth: Nokia’s useless non-phone (link):

"So please tell me, dear readers, if you think the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is worth $350 - and if so what it would allow you to do that you can’t do today."
