[edit] Nomenclature / Useful info
- Reduced Size Multi Media Card (RS-MMC) vs Multi Media Card Mobile (MMCMobile) (For more, see Wikipedia)
- The 770 will take either (they're basically the same thing). You want Dual Voltage (they consume less power) MMC Mobile (they're faster).
- With the latest firmware, the 770 supports up to 2GB cards.
- Chargers
- The 770 uses Nokia's standard newer cellphone charger -- any phone charger that supports this (its a very skinny plug) will work.
- Screen savers
- I've heard that PSP screen savers work great, but you need to trim about 1/4" off the end
- Codenames for distributions
- The following are the codenames of the linux distributions. The 770 runs Internet Tablet OS 2006 (see below), and can use the following:
- * mistral (2.0)
- * scirocco (2.1)
- * gregale (2.2)
- Internet Tablet OS 2007 on the 770
- The new OS (codename bora) is too big to run on the 770, having been designed for the Nokia 800. Nokia was nice enough to hack it (by removing packages) to make it run on the 770. The version is called Internet Tablet 2007 Hacker Edition (or 2007HE) but I haven't played with it yet.
