For those who’ve had a look at my previous posts, you may now be interested in giving this a go yourself. If you’re nervous, then don’t worry – it’s not THAT daunting to do. There are some fantastic guides out there.
The main problem with doing this is that there are a lot of different [...]
I’m always the same. I get a device or gadget, and, when I’m getting used to it in the first few weeks, I always go into ‘What can I do with this?’ mode. I’ll see what it can do, even if its things that I’d never use again. I was happily playing around with Ubuntu [...]
Just a quick note. I’m sat in Cafe Nero chilling out and trying out a new netbook. I’ve got to photograph my Nephew’s wedding today, so getting a few minutes of calm in before the chaos begins! I’m shortly (next day or so) going to put a bit of a report up about the new [...]
I use my Nokia 770 a lot. when I’m out and about and I don’t want to cart a laptop around, it’s a great form of internet access, if limited in a few ways. The ting that’s always got to me about it though, is t the text-entry interface. In the end, [...]
Well! I had a request a while back from somebody on a previous thread to ask me if the mobile broadband option provided by Three was ‘Full Internet Access’ and not just WWW access via a mobile connection. I can confirm that, after having testing my home SSH connection via the Three Mobile Broadband, it [...]
I’ve been playing (and in fact am currently) with using my N73 as a modem with my PC laptop. As I’ve said before, I’m on the Three UK mobile broadband add-on, which I wanted to use with the Nokia 770. Thing is, this weekend, I’m away from home, so got the impetus to [...]
Got my hands on somebody’s Ipod touch for the first time today. Very nice! You’ve probably already read about the iPhone and the touch everywhere, so I wont go through the features again here. Suffice to say, it’s very nice in use, and I’ll be investing in one at some point [...]
No, that’s not a spelling mistake….
To elaborate – recently, in order to get my Three price plan over to 1Gb Data over Bluetooth modem (Mobile Broadband Lite), I had to change from X-Series silver to a non- X-series add-on. As a rule, this was not a problem, as I didn’t really use much [...]
Hmmmm.
This morning I tried something. Instead of a packet data connection on the 770, I set the connection to my N73 up as a ‘Data Call’. Now, I thought that a packet data connection would be the way to go, and still have that feelng, but aftert entering *99# into the phone number [...]
I really like the 770. It’s really handy when I’m out and about for getting on the web and checking email or doing a bit of browsing. The one big downside of it all is that up until now, I’ve needed a WiFi connection nearby to be able to connect. Now that’s [...]
I’ve been playing with something today. A little application (and it is quite little – just a few hundred Kb), called ‘Maemo Mapper’. Maemo mapper is a client that allows you to connect to various map repositories across the web and use them for directions etc.
Nothing interesting in that I hear you [...]
I was going to write some Nokia 770 tutorials, but looks like someone has got the same idea. I’d like to direct you to Nunim’s Blog at:-

This guy, like me, has not that long ago got his hands on one of the little beauties, and has decided to start writing up a few articles [...]
Right!
Before I get to anything else, even the review of the device itself, I’ve got to post about this, as it nearly drove me crazy.
The way this device works is by installing packages from ‘Package Repositories’, in similar way to linux distros on Big box machines. You need to add URLs [...]
I’ve just purchased myself one of these little babies (click for bigness)…
It’s a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. In a nutshell, it’s a WiFi and Bluetooth Enabled internet and Email client, running a version of, get this nerds, Debian Linux. These things have been around for a little while now (probably a year and [...]
