Slipped by us when it appeared a couple days ago, but CNET has reviewed the Nokia 770.

Like others before him, CNET’s reviewer expressed disappointment that the 770’s performance didn’t match that of a bigger, faster, considerably heavier and more-expensive notebook computer, saying, “The Nokia 770 suffers from extremely sluggish operation, with most movies and Flash animations too slow to be useful.”

The reviewer then wanted the 770 to replace PDA’s, deciding it was too big. Ultimately, his inability to see the revolutionary aspects of the device led to a “mediocre” rating.

After reading the review, I wrote my own “user opinion” (which is how they characterize comments at CNET). What’s disappointing is that there are so many negative comments there from people who never used the device, written before it was released. I hope readers of this blog and the itT forums will chime in with their own positive remarks there.

Thanks to myet01, who pointed out this review in the itT forums.
