Nokia 770

October 19, 2005 7:44 pm Dave Neary gnome, maemo

I joined the growing club of people who received their Nokia 770 today. Woohoo!

I didn’t manage to get the bluetooth to work with the mac, and I don’t have wifi set up on my freebox, so for the moment there’s not much I can do with it, but that’s not going to stop me from playing.

    You can use your Mac to direct WiFi to other clients, so you can get the Nokia770 access the internet. OSX does not allow Bluetooth-based internet sharing (you could do it via the command line through ppp in the past, no longer supported on Tiger though). Your best bet is to either buy a wifi router or use a bluetooth-enabled computer to share internet via WiFi (easier to do that with the Mac, it’s only a click away).

    I meant a “wifi-enabled computer”. 😛

    Where did you ordered your Nokia 770 and how much it costs?

    Rick: Sorry, I got one free, which I won at GUADEC during a giveaway. They’re not in stores for another month or so, I believe.

    You should be able to use bluetooth ppp with Tiger. Just copy the old Bluetooth Serial Whatever.app from 10.3.X and you should be able to create serial ports, just like pre-Tiger time. You can even do it without pairing with the 770 before.

    Can you answer something I REALLY want to know:
    Does it support charging via USB2?

    Thanks!

    JrezIN: No idea, sorry.

    There’s a charger with it, and a USB connector, but I have no idea if the USB connector allows charging.

    Do you know if it will connect to a USB hard drive?

    I’m thinking in particular about the portable drives, like the Gmini. I use one to store my photos when I travel, it would be cool to be able to view them on the 770.

    Thanks,

    Hi, I am trying to gather information on this device such as what accept headers the device sends to websites. Is it possible for you to access http://test2.volantis.com/dc/index.jsp with the Nokia 770.

    Many Thanks
