A lot of hardware for $350. I'm not sure if Nokia, a cell phone maker, was the right company to introduce the product. This may appeal to families looking for a cheap web surfing device to supplement their PC.
For their part, Nokia is positioning the 770 as a thin client, a terminal. It is not intended to be a storage device, even though it does share many aspects with new media players, such as its RS-MMC memory card slot. This is the reason that you will find no PIM type applications pre-installed on the system, like a Calendar or ToDo list app. Of course there are plenty of Open Source applications that can fill that void, but it seems clear that Nokia is very much trying not to position the 770 as a PDA, even though it does include an email client (along with Opera, an RSS reader, and other apps).
