It's not remotely funny - I would have said three or fours years behind. :^( Of course I'm personally 5 years behind so I don't know why I'm so upset... I keep hoping we'll "get it" before I have to trade in my old, old Nokia. > I use Opera on my phone for Web Browsing, their small screen technology > is very good and with GPRS speed isn't too bad either. 3G is available > here now, I'm holding off for the moment as the phones are a bit "first > generation" although the pricing is very attractive. I'm interested in PocketPC/Phone combinations (I carry both anyway and since I rarely use my phone I'm willing to put up with a little discomfort using it). So far they're disappointing in combination - a crippled version of PPC with a clumsy phone. I hope that they realize that some of us want BOTH.
