Wave the 7700 goodbye
Published by Rafe Blandford at
The Nokia 7700 - a pioneer for its time,the first of its kind,the live child of a N-Gage and a P900 as some call it will not see the light of day. It was to be powered by Symbian OS and Series 90 UI and should've paved the road for a new class of "Mediacentric" Nokia devices. With its landscape oriented 640x320 touch-sensitive screen and EDGE support it should have made high quality streaming video and the concept of Visual Radio a reality, instead it will be a pilot/demo tool to network operators and media/content providers. The end of the 7700 is not the end for Series 90. Nokia are planning to launch a Series 90 based device sometime in 2005. Full story source - InfoSync World
