...complaints are fairly routine. I don't like looking at really busy pages, like Amazon's welcome page, on the Internet Explorer browser. Windows Mobile 5.0 still has some compatibility issues that need to be remedied, and one wonders whether mail and instant messaging software from Yahoo! or AOL will ever be brought up to date. If it's out there, it's very hard to find. A helpful resource in this nascent period is the aptly named Windows Mobile 5.0 Fix Site wm5fixsite.com, which tracks everything that's out there, and whether or not you should touch it with...

...dozen miners had been rescued was nothing more than a heartbreaking rumor. Only one man made it out alive. Someone had misunderstood a conversation and believed the miners had survived and the false report had spread in a nearby Baptist church were family and friends had gathered. In an instant, a scene of euphoria turned to shock, sadness and anger. Family members moaned, clutching their foreheads and stomachs. One man jumped in his pickup truck, drove through the mud and gravel and nearly rammed a news reporter and sheriff?s cruiser, before throwing the truck in reverse and roaring...

...player and Internet radio are great for listening to MP3s you transfer from a memory card, or to radio programs from the net, just by pasting a station's streaming link into the player. Subsequent system updates will ship other programs, but 770 owners can already download a universal instant messenger program plus a bunch of utilities and games, all for free at Maemo.org, the 770 developers' site...

...browsing and instant messaging are the two areas that highlight both the strengths and weaknesses of the 770. The browser-from a "third party"-is powerful. Most sites showed up without a hitch-although it stumbled slightly with the Java on AOL's website. The screen resolution is an impressive 800x480 pixels, which means if you have great eyesight you can see entire webpages across the 4-in. widescreen. If you're having trouble, fear not, for two buttons on top will zoom the picture in and out. Although Nokia clearly thought the screen issue through, it still represents...

...instant-messaging program from the developers' site (mentioned above) also had some quirks. While I liked the interface more than that of many PDAs and most phones-that is, I could easily jump between conversations and other windows; however, I had to peck in every letter like a chicken. It might not be as labor intensive as texting using a thumbpad, but unlike texting, it doesn't get much easier with practice. If you want to use a 770 for instant messaging, you may want to spring the $100 to $150 for a Bluetooth keyboard to go with...
