Good post. I would just like to point out a few more things that may enhance your portable experience. First, I would suggest installing vncviewer. This will allow you to remote desktop into your regular PC. This allows you to perform your high power tasks on your PC and may reduce the amount of software you need on your Nokia 770. If your PC has Linux, you can set your virtual screen to the screen size of your Nokia display using the following command on your PC:
vncserver -geometry 800x480.
This makes for a great Nokia 770 vncviewer experience.
Second. I would suggest getting a 2.5" disk USB power/data cable as shown http://www.xpcgear.com/usbtype2atob.html
With a gender changer as shown http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BSN4UY
and a battery pack as shown http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012S6GP2
you can connect a USB keyboard (Automatically recognized) or a flash memory stick (you must manually mount it) to your Nokia 770.
With a USB adapter a shown http://www.computercasesandcables.com/ccc/131-0586.html
You can connect a USB 2.5" and the new even smaller 1.8" USB powered drives to your Nokia 770 (you must manually mount it). These drives come in 250GB sizes which allows you to access plenty of music, videos, pictures etc. even while you don't have network access like on an airplane.
The only thing missing for the road warrior is a VGA output for presentations. However is looks like this project http://xsisusb.garage.maemo.org/
is addressing this as well.
