Sure it has an 800x480 display... but that's not quite as good as the 1024x768 display on my TC1100. My phone (Nokia 9500) has a 600x200 display AND it has a web browser+office suite AND it has 802.11b AND it has bluetooth AND it can use the T-Mobile Internet network... My phone reads email fine at home, at the office AND every point in between. If the 770 just provided a built-in phone, it would be worth it to me to lug about the extra size and weight in place of my phone. If its Bluetooth connection could interface an address book to dial a bluetooth phone... I might even buy a smaller phone and try it. As it is right now, the 770 is more of an inadequate tablet PC or like my PSP without the games (which I also refuse to lug about).

Perhaps it will appeal to those who have a modest budget who can't afford a real tablet. I don't fall in that category; if I want "computing power" on the go, I demand a little more oomph than an ARM processor, a little more resolution than 800x480, and a little more communications ability than 802.11 (as an aside: my TC1100 accepts PCMCIA cards which means I was able to purchase a Verizon broadband card that gives me 300+ kpbs to my tablet anywhere wireless broadband is supported--providing I'm willing to lug it about).
