That is what I went for (the Nokia 770) when my Palm Tungsten C looked
like it was about to give up.
In fact, the Palm still works but the screen has lots of near parallel
lines flickering all over it. Usable still - but I have been trying to
wean myself off it.

The updated operating system (released mid-2006) has certainly
improved it for me (speed and some functionality plus bug fixes around
stability).
When comparing it with a Palm, it lacks out-of-the-box PDA
productivity applications (diary, calendar, desktop sync) and the POP3
mail is slow to present the mail messages. However, there are quite a
few open-source and free applications that add some of this
functionality.
Better wifi than on my T|C (it is 11g/b and has better range).

I think that if Nokia and the community stick with it then it will
only improve.
