Nokia Wireless Pt.2

It would appear that the Nokia 770 is available now so cheaply because it has been superseded by the Nokia N800. Same principle, but.....better!

The N800 features (unlike its predecessor) a camera and microphone so that users can take pictures, videos and soundclips for editing on PC/Mac. The mic and camera also facilitate video conferencing and VoIP "telephone" calls through Skype.

Naturally the device doubles as a MP3 player, gaming device and an eBook/document reader - exciting stuff!

This gadget is a recent release and is currently a very desirable piece of kit...

Here is The official Site for the N800

But you may find that the Wikipedia Page on the N800 more concise.
