Don't get me wrong, the N70 looks a neat phone, and I'm thinking of getting one, it's just I have a Nokia 6310 (or is it a 6130, or Nokia Flame ... ?) for work and blow me, Gordon, every time I manipulate its little nipple (official term) I have to "re-navigate" two , even three, times to retrieve a phone number. And those silly, silly keys. Small??? Thinking about navigating on a standard size handset, let alone trying to read any content seems perverse to the point of geekiness

However I had a go today, and it seems perfectly workable to browse sites such as, for example, this one. |
Aha! Mobile friendly sites
Ever tried to retireve Yahoo mail through a device with the screen the size of an XDA? Painful. What must be like on the screen of a standard sized handset

Me too. Vario with 3G and the choice would have been a no-brainer. Of course we'll all be 11Mbits wifi everywhere for voice and data soon.

But the screen size
