[slim] Nokia 770 $129 on woot.com now!
Dear All, Todays woot on http://woot.com is the Nokia 770 for $129 ( + $5 Shipping) I have one (purchased for much more, shortly after it came out), and use it with the Nokia770 skin created by Ben Klaas. (search the forums for more info) (The 770 skin is included on recent slimserver releases - try it yourslimserver:9000/nokia770) The limitations of the 770 are well known, it has been superseded by the N800, but the woot price is a good one (best I found on pricegrabber currently was ~$259). So if you want a wireless touchscreen remote for your SB (or transporter), that displays album art - and lets you surf the web, Now! (as opposed to waiting for the iPhone ;), or some as-yet-unannounced-jive-powered device :) ) - and feel the price is worth it for you - then head over to woot.com Though I'd better point this out to people who want one, or had been previously put off by the price. Hope you find this useful.

Re: [slim] Nokia 770 $129 on woot.com now!
i answered my own question.. this is from their site Will I receive customer support like I'm used to? No. Well, not really. If you buy something you don't end up liking or you have what marketing people call "buyer's remorse," sell it on eBay. It's likely you'll make money doing this and save everyone a hassle. If the item doesn't work, find out what you're doing wrong. Yes, we know you think the item is bad, but it's probably your fault. Google your problem, or come back to that product discussion in our community and ask other people if they know. Try to call the manufacturer and ask if they know. If you give up and must return it to us, then follow on to the next FAQ entry. How do I return a defective product? Unless we specifically tell you not to, call the manufacturer of the product you bought. You will likely get a replacement of a new model or better item from them. If we still haven't dissuaded you, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your woot order number, the name of the product you are returning, and the detailed problem with the item. We will respond with return authorization by the next business day. Because we aren't likely to have a replacement in stock, you should be prepared for a refund-only option if that's all we can do. Know that return freight will be at your expense. Again, you will probably get a better deal from the manufacturer, or whoever else handling customer service for that product. -- jclyle jclyle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11752 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36370 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

A couple suggestions to those Woot!ing the 770 today: the first thing you should do is install the most current 770 OS image available. who knows what version the Woot! 770s will come with, and a lot of stuff got fixed between initial release and what's current today. secondly, install the streaming media manager Canola. http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/ for using my skin, make sure you have javascript enabled in the browser, view the skin in full-screen mode (button on the top of the device toggles full-screen mode), and make sure the browser settings are to not show the toolbar in full-screen mode. good luck woot!ers, #!/ben -- bklaas "the Nokia770 skin guy" http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36370 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Darn them sales! I keep Woot.com open in a tab and when I spotted the 770 I emailed the LUG list and didn't splurge (yet). Tried to convince myself I didn't need it but they were still available 20 hours later. I wish they would have sold out. At least I only got one. For those regretting not getting one, they'll be on Ebay in droves with buyers finding they can't get more than $150 because too many are being offered. -- notanatheist notanatheist's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36370 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Nokia 770 $129 on woot.com now!
The 770 seems to work ok. I attached the case to the wall, so it would be like a control panel. Still, I'm a little disappointed; for one thing, the screen won't show both the frames (list of albums etc. plus current playlist) that are needed for most slimserver interfaces. I also have a suggestion for the Nokia 770 interface---it would be nice if the "Now Playing" screen would show more items in the playlist, rather than just three. Actually, I really wish that one could view a list of artists/albums/songs, and the current playlist, side by side, but maybe that's not possible. Anyway, I'm still playing with the 770, and I definitely appreciate the effort that went into the 770 skin, even if I imagined it would more more like a typical slimserver skin. -- washburn washburn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=507 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36370 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I've been away on business trying to earn enough money to buy another gadget. Re your questions above: 1. SlimServer Version: 6.5.2 - 12047 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 2. The former! Using full-screen option on my N800, the lower dark grey tool bar of your skin (showing "19247 songs, 1423 artists, 1561 albums About Server Settings Player Settings" remains fixed over the bottom of the second row of icons in your skin. It actually obscures the text label of the icons. Make sense? My observation is that this occurred after upgrade of the OS on the N800. It was not a problem before.

The nokia 770 *can* show both frames of the usual slimserver skins; I guess that before I just didn't give it time to refresh enough to display properly. However the normal skins are sort of small for the Nokia. It'd be nice if there were a "normal" skin that just used a somewhat larger font. -- washburn washburn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=507 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36370 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
