Here is Screenshot 1 and Screenshot 2. There's also a VNC client for the Ericsson P800 (Auf Deutsch!) written by Gino Micacchi with some more screenshots here and here."

    oh sweet, as demonstrated via the pictures, using VNC from my mobile would allow me to check the status of my KaZaA downloads or check my email for my latest RIAA subpoena!

      You missed that you can also use Daemon-Tools to mount your latest downloaded W***z ISO's and even play them over VNC (at 1/10 FPS)! :)

    Did you look at the screen shot? I think that it would be very useful. Sure you have to do some scrolling, but you could browse the web with a full size browser if you needed to. Fill out web forms, order that mail order bride, or read slashdot.....
