Wow, this was a blast from the past! I worked in the 770 design team, and haven't really seen it mentioned anywhere in the past decade. :) Thanks for your review!

[@R.B.]

I have my 770 right here... I remember puting Android Donut on it once upon a time. I don't see my charge cable, so I'm not sure I'll be able to see how it is currently doing... Oh, just found that too. Says it's charging. Nokia 770 Internet Tablet Internet Tablet OS 2006 edition Version 3.2006.49-2 I think I restored it to normal before I shelved it. Happy to see that it still starts but I suspect the battery is past its prime now. Edit: Okay, I have OS2006, OS2007, and NITdroid on 3 different partitions on the MMC. I'll have to investigate this further when I remember how to select the boot menu.

Hienoa työtä!

[@ubidefeo]

At the time I was part of the team developing software and hardware for the Nokia Flagship Stores, and I got a unit to play with to see if we could make a remote controller for the stores' screens. It never happened but it was cool to have the unit. Very well built, I gotta say :) My geek friends envied me because I got all the cool Nokia stuff

[@zuzkazuzka8284]

If it is really true I have to applaud your innovation sir! Sure n800 and N810 with it’s sliding keyboard looked more fancy by today’s standards, but that flip case screen protector thing was ingenious 🎉 simple yet elegant thing to protect the fragile resistive screen and build like a tank

[@yrath5034]

I remember that we had to apply to join the developer program to buy one, I was so happy when mine arrived! I just looked at my photos from then and it looks like I got it in December 2005 (UK).

[@MintyRoot]

I had the N800 around the time of the first iPod Touch. That thing was a beast, integrated kickstand, pop-up rotating camera, a web browser that could actually run Flash. I could even make phone calls with Skype. They backported the firmware for that one back to the 770 for the hacker editions of OS 2007 and 2008. It might be why TuxPaint couldn't launch on yours.

[@AlexGamingConsole]

Beast is very far fetched

[@RKingis]

I used mine primarily for when Pandora was still free, so we listened to music at the restaurant I worked at. Definitely a impressive upgrade from the 700.

[@priestessofchaos430]

I also had an N800. Paired with a folding Bluetooth keyboard powered by a couple of AAA batteries, that gave me a shell prompt anytime, anywhere, without having to lug around a laptop. Random phone call to kick an Apache? No problem, don't even need to leave the party.

[@jansn12]

I loved my N900 soo much. Debian on a phone in 2009 was just the best. I ssh'd into uni and from uni to my dorm, so nice.

[@DanielleWhite]

I held off on buying my first smartphone for the US launch of the N900, but when they went a good bit sideways (only supported the good data rates on T-Mo who had little coverage in my area) I went with an original Moto Droid instead.

[@DarasEs]

I used my n900 up until the USB port fell off

[@ThalassTKynn]

The N900 was my first smartphone, and its still my favorite. Earlier this year I bought one off of ebay and playing with it had been great fun, even if it does show its age. I need to replace the usb port, though. Which I'm nervous about haha

[@FredrIQ]

​@@DarasEsI resorted to buying an external battery charger for it which prolonged its lifetime by a couple of years. But eventually after like 6 years, it stopped recognizing my SIM.

[@venkman6997]

There is a living successor to this, Maemo evolved into Meego which was later spun off as SailfishOS which still exists today developed in Finland though their main customers are governments and military's for a secure smartphone OS.

[@salihkarayel]

Good info thanks

[@jamesbrendan5170]

while Sailfish is definitely good... no one outside of Jolia (the main developers) wants to port it to other devices... and Jolia themselves are *really* awful.... if you want to unlock their phones' bootloaders, you'll have to pay.

[@NaldzHobbySide]

@@jamesbrendan5170 i supported Jolla through social media page, but their effort lacks support but they still operational, i just wish they commercialized the Sailfish OS for free or at least one time payment, because monthly subscription is not my thing for an OS.

[@theMemphisX]

Although true the story is a little bit more complicated and deeper than that The Maemo operating system although Linux Debian based, it's UI was the real evolution of Epoc, the Operating System that was powering older Psion PDAs. Epoc became Symbian spanning into different GUI implementations (Nokia's S60, S80 and S90 as well as UIQ) with only one of them (S90) evolving the original Psions GUI as Hildon. The Symbian implementation eventually got cancelled with only the Linux (Maemo) beeing kept in development with Nokia N900 being the last version developed by Nokia. At that point Nokia and Intel were merging their Linux OSes Maemo and Moblin into one called MeeGo. This is where things get complicated as the next Nokia device (the N9) runs MeeGo (Harmattan) only in name, under the hood it is still Maemo (Debian based) and nothing to do with the public source code tree of Meego (that was closer to Intel's Moblin). Additionally Nokia's N9 UI has nothing to do with Hildon which was tablet focused. Apparently Nokia was working on a next gen UI for a linux based smartphone for multiple years but they ended up throwing all efforts in the bin as user testing deemed them too complicated - Nokia's N9 UI was designed and developed in 6 months). The rest is kinda history. Nokia's then CEO Stephen Elop sided with his old Boss (MIcrosoft) so any Linux efforts were cancelled. MeeGo as a core OS died with the Linux Foundation now moving to Tizen and Jolla (at that point a Finish start up company co founded by ex Nokians who worked on the above projects) continued work through Sailfish OS (based on MeeGo now called Mer but not Maemo). Maemo or should I say Hildon UI still lives on though as it was Open Source. You can run an updated community version called Maemo Leste both on the original N900 as well as on a bunch of other devices like the PinePhone. And Jolla with Sailfish although yes in the past they were mainly working with goverments, after the Russia-Ukrane war they had to overcome the trouble of being half owned by Russian investors which had an impact on their business. They managed to change ownership last year but it is a mirracle they are still alive after all the financial problems they went through. For anyone who is really interested in the history of Psion's Epoc, Symbian, Maemo and Meego and their evolution there are some amazing articles written in theregister a... decade ago (search for "Symbian Secret History" & "How Nokia managed to drive its in-house Linux train off the rails") .

[@chudoigrok1584]

Sailfish OS was bought by Russians, so it's no longer Finnish.

(And most of my cognizant childhood was in the 1990s, so I've been around computing devices for a long time.) But then, I ask myself, do you really want underpowered, unsupported, ancient hardware that will run horribly at best? (And mostly not support things like modern websites.) I have trouble letting go of things, but I also have a lot of trouble "going back" even to computers and devices that used to be my "daily drivers"...

I have the Nokia 6680 that they illustrate in the instructions for linking the phone up via Bluetooth. Was such a great symbian 60 3G handset. I ran ScummVM on it and played all my favourite LucasArts games back in the day. For 2005 it was incredible. In fact I remember flying to Kefalonia for a holiday and border control asked me for my phone and when I gave it to them it turned out they just wanted to take a look at it because it was so nice.

[@IN-rf1pv]

I can not emphasize enough what a game changer this mighty little weird machine was for me when I stumbled across mine at compusa as well. At the time that this device was introduced, “smart” phones were still nascent and the best ones at the time were like WindowsCE based crap, half decent Palm devices or Blackberries. The Nokia BLEW AWAY the browsing experience on anything short of probably the iPhone 4 or maybe the PalmPre given the other thing you didn’t mention which is just how high resolution the pixel density on this thing was for the time. The fit and finish was also deliciously nice to hold. While it was still my hot new toy I carried this little guy everywhere with me and paired it with my otherwise clunky Windows CE or Palm based phones.

[@jstan5802]

It's a shame instead of pursuing the further development of Maemo/Meego, Nokia instead went with Microsoft

[@Noksus]

​​@@jstan5802 Stephen Elop was totally a trojan horse sent by Microsoft. His stupid acts brought down Nokia's valuation preparing for Microsoft's purchase of the phone department. I think MeeGo could have actually been something incredible, even to compete with Android. It ran so smooth compared to Symbian. It was what Nokia's phones needed, not WindowsPhone.

This takes me back. I had the N800, N810 and N900! I miss these devices. The N800/810 were also the tablets, but the N900 was an actual Linux phone that was very good. That, more than the other two, I really miss...

I got a 770 off Woot for under $150. Only used it a year or two but was great to mess around with

[@qingdom]

I had one of those 770’s. How Nokia let its userbase down was they promised to maintain and upkeep with yearly updates. However, when the n800 came out, support for the 770 had dropped with only one major update, and that’s it… support was shortly after, dropped… same applied for the n800 when the n810 came out.

[@vaffangool9196]

That's pretty misleading. The 770 was upgradeable from OS2005 to OS2006, but was not compatible with later binaries. When the N800 came out on OS2007 they gave us a Hacker Edition update combining the native binaries with the updated libraries and userspace processes from OS2007. When the N810 came out on OS2008 they released another Hacker Edition update, again combining the OS2006 binaries with the latest libraries and userspace processes, which overwhelmed the resources of the 770 and made its use impractical. The N800 was natively capable of running OS2008, but neither it nor the N810 received subsequent updates to Maemo 5 as installed on the N900, a GSM cellular device powered by a new family of TI OMAP SoC.

[@leeosborne1674]

I had one, and the follow-up n800 which was somewhat more refined. It really felt like it was the future especially as you could get it online with a phone using Bluetooth in I think PAN mode.

The background music during the sponsor bit sounds like it should be played on either high end headphones or cheap nuggetphones on a freakish ears on a stick!

I always wanted an Archos PMA400 a similar Linux tablet-y thing that evolved from Archos' MP3\video players with MID/PDA stuff added on.

That's great never saw that in the uk. I guess it's the time when we had electronic organizers and Nokia phones were getting internet good already

I wanted one of these so bad back then, walking past this display along with the Sony Mylo in Fry's Electronics. It might have been the 810 though but you know, whatever. Later on I took a look at them again because of the Palm OS emulator that was released for it (well the beta anyways) and I wanted to try it out sometime, I don't have one of these yet though. Finding that "Garnet VM" was quite the challenge.
