This round is for a side-by-side example comparison between what you get in the box. Before anyone says it again: Yes, these are two VERY different devices. I am writing these comparisons because they have greatly overlapping target markets. On with the analysis and pictures:
| Topic |  |  | Winner |
| Box | Standard box and packing materials. Attractive marketing. Everything is secure, well packed, and arrived intact. | Same. No competition here - just a note to say that both did a good job. | Tie |
| Charger | Standard Nokia 7700 series charger. Very small and convenient. | Laptop style charging brick with three prong cable. Propriatary and inconvenient | |
| Stand | Two part stand, easy to disassemble, and packs flat. Not good for use though, as taps tend to knock the tablet off. | Some assembly required two position plastic stand. Not as portable as the 770's but MUCH more stable and flexible. | |
| Slip case | Attractive black patterned drawstring slip case. No screen protection in the slip case. | Terribly ugly yellow slip case with too-long drawstrings. No screen protection. | |
| Hard case | Brushed metal reversible hardcase that automatically puts the unit to sleep when covering the screen. Offers great screen protection. | None included. | |
| Stylus | Narrow plastic stylus. A bit short but still functional. Two included. | Metal stylus with extending barrel. Stylus also functions as a stand when inserted into a hole in the back of the tablet. Two included. | |
| Battery pack. | 1300 mAh Nokia battery pack. One included and available replacements from Nokia for $59 or most cellular retailers for $30-$50. | 2400 mAh propriatary battery pack. One included and available replacements for $100 from mfgr. | |
| Other accessories | 64M RS-MMC data storage card. RS-MMC to MMC adapter, USB data cable for direct connection to a PC. | Combo microphone/stereo headset earbuds. | |
| Oooh aah shiny pretty. | Oooh aaah shiny pretty. | Oooh aaah shiny pretty. | Tie |
Winner of the first round:
The Nokia 770 for including a hard case, memory card, and direct PC connection cable.
