[Novalug] Nokia 770

[John B. Holmblad]

Kevin,

I have purchased the more recently introduced successor product to the 
770 known as the Nokia N800. The list price of the N800 is $399. 
Unfortunately the 770 and the N800 are not 100% software compatible and 
Nokia itself is not doing any more software development for the N800 
although the maemo.org opensource community continues to develop 
software, some of which, runs on the 770 as well as the N800. Here is 
the url to that www site:

    wwww.maemo.org

Best Regards,

 

John Holmblad
