Guide Review - Nokia 770 Internet Tablet Review
The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet I received for review, was described as easy to use and set up. It was, with the exception of creating a connection to my Wi-Fi network. It didn’t seem to like the long key I have to enter and it did take numerous attempts before getting the connection was created.
I was very pleased with the display and how well images and video were displayed.
The battery life, especially when using Wi-Fi is rather weak – approximately 3 hours. So you shouldn’t plan to use this for stretches without having access to an electrical source.
Using the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet was not difficult at all, the user interface is user-friendly and after quickly reading the User Guide you will be up and running.
The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is well designed for those who need more in the display category and still have access to the Internet using Wi-Fi or a Bluetooth enabled cell phone. Both methods of connection are created using a wizard.
Mobile professionals who want a handheld that will handle a variety of graphic uses, such as those in real estate or sales will find that the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet makes a good mobile gadget to have. As a replacement for your laptop on business trips, the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is acceptable when you require a small gadget to take quick notes or reference graphics. It does provide different functionality compared with standard PDA/handhelds and some mobile professionals may find this aspect limiting.
