I have one from Woot! and it's great for traveling. Load
gizmo-project, a VOIP service like Skype, and you can even make
free or cheap international phone calls. --



Blueskies Any way it could do GPS?

Yes. You need a Bluetooth GPS receiver and some extra, free BT drivers
from the Nokia 770 software site. The catch is the mapping program.
The 770 is Linux, so there probably is not an aviation oriented map
for it.
