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.

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.

"Maemo mapper is a great tool for the people who get lost and it pairs
with most std BT-GPS receivers. A 2GB RS-MMC card(now compatible) can be
used to store maps and other data(music/videos)."

On a side note, I prefer Skype over Gizmo Project for VOIP though:

Only for Nokia's N800, the model supplanting the 770. Though it's
possible the 770 may also enjoy Skype with a new OS which may come out
later this year.
