Yes, indeed, it is a quite cool device and I have to admit that it is 
wonderful thing to have it
in the handbag everywhere.
I have the privilege to use a prototype and I am beginning to wonder how
anyone could live without :). Actually I don't need to use laptop for 
browsing
some web page at home, just tap the 770 screen and the web page is there 
and when
on outside the home, the device seamlessly connects through my GPRS phone
(we of course have wlan at home - we have used it for years, even when 
it was
not so cheap, but now anyone can buy a wlan base station since they have 
now became
cheap mass market devices and the wlan is no longer fun of the early 
adopter persons anymore alone).
And because of the pretty impressive screen resolution (especially with 
considering the physical dimensions
of the device), it is pretty well readable too and is not
a reduced web-experience the devices with lower screen resolution tend 
to offer but
fully usable for web browsing, etc. But this is just my humble opinion 
and I have nothing
to do with any product marketing stuff etc. :) I will propably equip my 
device with a 256 MB or 512 MB RS MMC
since I have found it to have also very good quality headphone preamp which
works fine with my Sennheiser HD-600 headphones (which are known to have
problems with worse quality headphone amplifiers (e.g. in my old Fujitsu 
Lifebook notebook I have
had some distortion problems) because of the abnormally high impedance 
they have) and of course
the connector is a real headphone connector which is cool too, no 
additional adapters needed.
I don't have a dedicated mp3 player so far, so I like to use the N770 
prototype as a mp3-player.
The playback time when the screen is off seems to be a lot longer than
the browsing time before the battery runs out.
