Odd to see this comment get downvoted. Apple fanboism attempting to reassert the reality distortion field?

..and sadly, the 770 and its user interface just shows too well why the iPhone won, and why the other companies had to go back to the drawing board with their operating systems.
I used the 770 and actually got wrist pain from using it too much with the crappy plastic stylus that was included.
(And at the time, the 770 had a pretty amazing screen and user interface compared to most other mobile devices. If only Nokia had known that capacitive touchscreens existed and started porting the Hildon UI to multi touch in 2005..)
The Nokia 770 from 2005/11 and the N800 which was released (2007/01) around the same time that Jobs was announcing the development of the iPhone. (These were Internet tablets with the hints of the telephony stack already included. Eventually the N900 phone did come out, too little too late unfortunately.)
Android has much more in common with Maemo than Apple iOS.
