>From what I've read, the 770 was a hit (sold out in places) and the N800 was
even better, based on some reactions. The 770 are/were still available for
about $100. Nokia's Maemo community is growing. Code does not die. One package
builds upon another, which builds upon another... Maemo is here to thrive and
the new unit confirms this. Companies (ISVs) have added special support for
Maemo, even some big names like Skype and some wireless internet providers.
