Well, I can't really say anything bad about it, can I ;)?
If I would get it subsidized as part of a phone contract, I probably
wouldn't mind. The screen is definitely nice, and iSync syncing will
sooner or later be possible... on the minus side, I think that the PIM
functionality provided by the Newton is still the best out there, and
the 7700 is a side talker. The good thing in the mobile phone world is
that with the current release cycles, it is no big problem to skip the
1.0 releases and wait for the improved versions (the 7700 is the first
Series90 phone).
Personally, I still prefer the Newton + basic cell phone combination,
especially with Bluetooth.
