If you have already received your Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, or have placed an order for it, now it’s time to look for more useful softwares for your expensive toy. I am pretty sure that almost all users, if not all, would like to have Instant Messenger client on the 770 that works for all the available IM platforms out there. Devesh Kothari offers exactly what we need, he has completed porting GAIM version 1.5 for the Maemo platform, which the 770 is running on.

Finally, after months of waiting, the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is officially available to the public! The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet weighs 230 g and measures 141×79 x 19 mm in dimensions. It is basically a Linux based Wi-Fi tablet computer, allowing users to browse the web conveniently, as well as to enjoy multimedia or to do some works on it.

The Nokia 770 will hit the market next month (Nokia has actually started shipping the developer version), I bet whoever intends to own one can’t wait to see it, and get their hands on it. Well, you can’t touch it yet, but Ari Jaaksi of Nokia is kind enough to let you see it in action.

Spanish website CincoDias.com reported that Wanadoo, a broadband Internet service provider in Europe, has announced that it will bundle the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet with its ADSL service subscription in Spain. So we don’t have to wailt till before the Christmas, this article also mentioned that the Nokia 770 will be released at the end of this month, with recommeded retail price of 350 Euros (US$424).

So the Nokia 770 Blog pointed out that the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet isn’t made in Finland nor Nokialand (that would be too expensive anyway), it isn’t made in Taiwan nor China either. To my suprise, the 770 is made in Estonia. You don’t believe it? Check out the FCC sticker after the jump.

As Q3 2005 is ending, two weeks ago Nokia’s representative has confirmed that the release date of the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is pushed to Q4 2005 “to enable more mature software at launch. A decision that we hope that people will recognize as a good move, ultimately benefiting all Nokia 770 users.”

Reggie of Internet Tablet Talk posted a nice and short accessories guide for Nokia 770 last month, featuring memory cards, battery, charger and charger adapter, as well as Wi-Fi finder.
