My only gripe with the Nokia? Short battery life. Same problems with the UMPCs, though the 770 is more affordably priced. I'll stick with my X41 for now until a decent compromise comes out.

Put the app in full screen mode and I'm sure you have a nice portable environment to draw your cartoons --- much more convenient than the tablet PC!

They have really been embracing bloggers. I know they gave out a bunch of phones to Canadian bloggers a while back. Now if only the automotive industry would follow suit. ;) Good for Nokia!

It provides an alternative channel for product news as opposed to anemic coverage of new products on cnet. A friend of mine who works for Nokia has a blog at <a href="http://myphonerocks.com" rel="nofollow">http://myphonerocks.com</a> and he's always playing with the latest and greatest, and has even been experimenting with putting videos from the phones on youtube. Because blogs are generally very personal, and build reputation and social equity over time, I'm just not concerned or worried that bloggers that I trust and respect are going to lose there mind over a free phone. If I come across a new blog with a glowing report about a new product I will treat that with as much skepticism as I would an infomercial. Cheers, Karl (first off i’m bias because i’m doing some work for nokia right now and they sent me a free N80)

Fun gadget to play with, though. The Nokia store, incidentally, was pretty fab in that like-a-restaurant-coveted-by-the-supporting-cast-of-American-Psycho kind of way.

On this occasion you handled it well (i.e., open, frank and full disclosure). As an ancient guy I'm not always hip to new ideas and tech advances. Thus your post was a huge personal bonus as I got to show my darling wife who "loves" tech toys your post and the cool picture of the Nokia 770. She loves it! Rock on Hugh! A very fine line indeed.

I believe if I caveat what I write with "They gave this for me for free, and I'm writing about it because I want to, not because I have to", my readers are smart enough to draw their own conclusions.

Yes, he's right that it is a troublesome course to steer. I think your first paragraph puts the rest of what you say in its proper context. Your reader can think "He's been bought" or "Never mind how he got one, what does he think". If, instead, people found out later that you'd received payment [in kind , the gadget itself] to write something [positive] then your credibility is sunk forever; and some would say, deservedly so.
