O ya, compiling on that would be such fun... NOT!

OTOH, it could use apt and synaptic or something, but you would prolly still have to compile some things!

I was going to get an Axim, but (take no offense) the Nokia 770 suits my needs almost perfectly for college! With a campus wide WiFi network I'll be able to take full advantage of the Nokia 770's massive broadband abilities. Unfortunately, I also have to do schoolwork on it... I hope people come out with a DocumentsToGo type of office docs handler for it.

I read in other articles that it doesn't have Bluetooth Keyboard support built into the HID. That's disgusting. Hopefully an update will correct that.

It can still be used with a Bluetooth phone being used as a modem, so that's a big plus. I envy you Cingular / T-Mobile customers, Sprint doesn't carry a single darn Bluetooth phone that isn't gutter-worthy. Imagine hooking this puppy up to a Razr V3.

I hope it supports PEAP/LEAP. It better, being toted as a wireless internet terminal.

So I went and got one of the Nokia 770 Internet Tablets. I had one on order at NokiaUSA.com, but they were backordered and I found one at a CompUSA store that was about 50 miles away so we drove there yesterday to get one.

It is incredibly perfect for what I was looking for. I sold my old X30H on eBay to get this thing, and I am very happy with it. The screen resolution is unbelievable- I can see whole web pages like never before. Considering the only things I really used my old Ax for were internet and watching the occasional movie, this is all I need. It is not much larger than my Axim was, and that surprised me, because it seemed bigger in the pictures I saw. The battery life is quite good; I got nearly four hours last night on full brightness.

I hope no one will mind if I still stop by Aximsite now that I am no longer even a Pocket PC owner.

Keep comming back... axim ownership is optional here (heck we even let Ipaq users in )

And let us know how you get on with your latest shiny thing :)
