Nokia 770 Internet Tablet review

Verdict:

The Nokia 770 has a fantastic screen - but it's much too limited in other ways.

Our Rating 3 stars out of 5

Loading Web pages over GPRS is far slower than over a wireless network, but it's quick enough to look up the occasional bit of information and certainly fast enough to send and receive e-mails.

BUYING DECISIONS

Nokia's 770 is the best handheld Internet device available. Its large screen and fast browser are far better at displaying online content than any PDA or smartphone on the market and its e-mail program is easy to use. However, it's expensive for what is essentially a fairly limited product.

PDAs such as the HP iPAQ we review on page 59 also have wireless networking and Bluetooth and are available for around the same price as the 770. While they lack the Nokia's high-resolution screen, they have the advantage of being able to create and edit Word documents and Excel spreadsheets, as well as having advanced organiser and address book functions.

If you need the best possible handheld Internet browser, then Nokia's 770 is the one to have, but those after more flexibility would be better off with a normal handheld PC.
