That's why I traded in my Rik for a new model. ;)

To get the little phone icon, you have to use the wap interface by adding ;wap2 to the forum URL.

I had an E71 for a while, blooming good phone. As others have said it can do pop email and alooexchange email as well as the likes of hotmail. I had problems with the provider though (I eas on 3) and ended up switching to t-mobile which meant I got to choose a new phone and although I was very tempted to get another e71 I ended up with a t-mobile pulse instead, good phone but a bit heavy on battery life. Good (on screen) kdyboard too - just typed this message oit on it!

Hmmm, I guess I should say good(ish) keyboard - not made for sausage fingers!

Nokia strikes me as the more mature product - good connectivity with the PC via data suite, polished operating system, the pulse is not as slick but has some nice apps and of course, the all important accelerometer :)

I hated the nokia pc suite, and it leaves behind on windows machine volatile registry keys you can never get rid of, I must say I like itunes and iPhone integration, very simple. The SE suite, god that was a pain.

I liked the fact you could edit contacts on the PC, sent/receive text messages using the PC and move stuff around (Pictures/Ringtones etc) easily using the PC. Not used an iPhone (I like the tech but not a big fan of the company) but the pulse (Which is an android phone - Google isn't my friend but knows more about me than my friends do!) can't do these things very well if at all - at least, not with any of the apps I have found. I took a few pictures on it recently and needed to get them onto the PC but the only way I could see to do it was by emailing them - Bluetooth doesn't seem to want to connect even though the PC/Phone are paired and trusted, the 'suite' that it is supplied with is just a contact sync and I didn't want to have to remove the memory card to put it into the PC! Problem may well be between chair and keyboard but Nokia make things like that simple.

Android has the potential to be good with things like automatic data synchronisation between the phone and a googlemail address but I miss the ease of use of the e71 - although some of the apps available for android phones (And of course iPhones as well) go a long way to making up for it, Shazam has to be my favourite, I was very impressed when it recognised this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGDZc9bdUZM which isn't the best known tune in the world :)

I just turned to the dark side and bought a Mac, they are very puritanical I agree, but the kits great  :thumb: I found the pc suite sort of took over to much, but i agree with Shazam its fantastic, there is a paid for version now called Shazam encore which lets you do more, best thing ever that app, and so handy for obscure songs, I heard a song on lie to me, it was this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEcXz7b2Bk0 and the rest of the album is great, very handy that app.
Damned, if you do damned if you don't

Can you read the social areas of the board, David, eg, Natter, Rant, The Pantry etc. Those are closed to guests, so if you can't reach them you're not logged in, and wouldn't be able to post in the public boards, eg this one.

You need to get the setup details from T-Mobile.

Just seen the second comment ,thanks Rik will get them now  :fingers: :thumb:
