Yesterday I got my hands on the in world Nokia 770 that I missed out on at the Popular Science launch event on Thursday night. Like the appetizers I mentioned yesterday, it works best without the paws so it will be modeled by my human avatar.

The in world Nokia 770 comes with a handheld, a stylus, and an animation overrider. When relaxed, your avatar just holds it.

When you begin to type, your avatar scribbles on the Nokia instead of the usual "typing on imaginary keyboard" animation. Apparently you can add additional animations, but I haven't gotten that far yet.



I haven't seen the real world version in person, but it looks like a pretty slick little device.

As a side note, if someone if standing right in front of you, you can give them something by dragging it from your inventory onto their avatar (knew this). If not, then drag the item onto their profile (which you can find using the People tab on Search) or their calling card if you have it.
