The thing that most people seemed to have missed is that the 7700 has EDGE support which means (if any operator in Europe ever gets around to implementing it) you can get about 384 k/s on the downlink (with no-one else in your cell, a following wind, etc. etc.)
Now that is an interesting proposition, almost 3G access speed from 2.5/2.75G technology.
For those in the know all that the operators require for EDGE is a base station software upgrade as it just changes the coding technique for GPRS, a much cheaper way to provide 3G access speeds.
If only the P900 had EDGE I might just consider buring a hole in my wallet................

this seem to be a big difference between Europe and the US
in the US EDGE is considered 3G pretty much. In Europe we consider it a worthless technology as we're going for 3G (UMTS) directly...
In the long run this will make US fall behind (or not catch up is probably a better way to describe it)
Many countries in Europe already have 3G up and running. My guess that in 1 year 3G will explode and the amount of 3G phones available will increase dramatically. We'll have 4 3G networks in Sweden by summer next year at the latest. Most probably the second one will open before christmas and the other 2 first quarter next year...
Then 3G is in business... |

I agree that the picture (shape and colouring) of the 7700 makes it appear to be weird compared to traditional phones, PDAS and Smartphones. My thinking is that Nokia are trying to start a new line of devices. A device that is more about visual entertainment on the move (video, music, games) and less about voice comms. The comms technology (Edge, 3G, WiFi, etc) will be used for mainly for entertainment. I assume the user clinics that Nokia hold have shown that the shape they have selected is comfortable for use as an entertainment device. Lets hope someone from Esato sees one in the flesh and tries to use it then we'll see what it is really about.

not to sure about the shape but was reading some info on the phone today and it was saying it will be able to record video.
also the biggest news was that by added an attachment it could pick up and be able to watch digital tv.
this mag was saying its the new thing for mobile in 2004/05. |

Yo Matey
The sendo-x nor the Nokia 7700 are even in the same league to compete with Sony P900 (even P800)
The closest rival I have had to the awesome Sony's has been the Nokia Communicator 9210. HOwever NK9210 lacked in sooo many features and was a brick, albiet a nice one.
Sorry NO competition to my P900 and now with 128 duo installed and converting my own movies..wow heaven!!!

When the P800 came out, people started comparing phones with it. Trying their best to knock the P8 out of it's dominance. Now that we have the P900, it's starting all over again. 
Opps, I almost forgot, they are doing it to the T610 also.

The new Nokia Earwaxor attatchment
Calls a little muffled? then You can now add the Nokia Earwaxor to your 7700.
The Nokia Earwaxor runs off your 7700 accessory port, so no futher charging is required. It can remove appx 99% of built up ear wax in the time it takes to call home! In fact, you can use it whilst making and receiving calls!
Available at all places that dare sell it!
£49.99

 and then some more..... if there going to bring out a phone more advanced you would think they would make it look good..... nokia's prob is they make all this new mobile technology, but dont spend enough time on the looks, which means that other companies can buy rights to the software then concentrate on looks.... and i think the boys & girls at se really do a fantastic job in producing software and especially in the looks department.....

I don't care what any of you say - the N***a 7700 is the definitive P900 killer.
Drop that on a P900, and your P900 is sure to be dead!!! |
