From SIP to even installing Asterisk this man really takes his Nokia 770 to the next level.
There is some interesting stuff coming up with handwriting recognition. At a recent Symbian Smartphone show, I saw both Symbian and 770 demos of vastly improved systems. The one from MyScript recognized whole lines of cursive linked writing rather than just one letter at a time. XT9 also showed an improved version of the current system.
Some people call the 770 "the new Zaurus" but really the only comparison is Linux and the degree of enthusiasm around. Nokia seems fully aware of what it has, which is more than Sharp ever demonstrated, at least in markets other than Japan. Nokia also has the advantage of having much wider distribution channels.
Very special thanks to Gala’s fourth-year computer science students at Simferopol University for showing me where to get a WLAN connection for this article. Special thanks as well to Ciaron Linstead in Berlin for extensive use of his network, which allowed me to get Pine working, among other things.

I hope you’re right about the handwriting recognition John, when I demoed a 770 at CES in January I was frankly appalled. Then again I’m used to Tablet PC’s running XP Tablet Edition, which is fantastic in its own right but I hear Vista’s hand writing recognition is even better!
