I have one myself.  Even more importantly, it runs ScummVM like a
champ, so I can pass a long flight playing Monkey Island, Sam & Max,
or similar.  The old Lucas point-and-click adventure games are very
well suited to the N770, since all you need is the stylus, no keyboard
required.  Oh, and I can pair it with my cell phone to get an Internet
connection and administer my servers from the road..yeah, that's it, I
need it for work.  No, really!

Cheers,

Caleb
