4. Performance

The 770 has excellent WiFi capabilities. You may find nearby access points your laptop has never spotted and it copes with WEP and WPA. It is pickier about which Bluetooth phones it connects to.

Application performance can be sluggish and you can't run many applications at the same time. The new OS lets you use up to 64 MB of an RS-MMC card as extra virtual memory, which lets you load more applications or larger data files, but the 770 does struggle with anything more than a single application. Battery life is excellent; you'll easily get the promised three hours and more even when using WiFi and playing music from the memory card. Connect to a PC or Mac and the 770 shows up as an external drive - but you can only access the memory card and transfer files to it.

Use space on a memory card as extra virtual memory.
