...and S60 phones have had such software for a few years. There are several such applications, but I've recently started using software called Nimbuzz and does Skype, Googl Talk, AOL Instant Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo!

It does VoIP too - I tried this using MSN and Skype (over wifi on my E90), and it worked well enough.

I guess you're referring to the Nokia keyboard, but the Apple bluetooth keyboard works fine with the N95 too, I'm told (I use it on an E90), and I think there's even one or two other options in that respect.
It's nice to have the option of taking a keyboard along when you know you might need it, and yet not have to when you think you won't (but be able to use the phone's instead if you're wrong). I tend not to need it much, actually, since the E90's keyboard it quite servicable.

Well, I'm bound to be wrong if I come up with an exact number, but at least 5 have been mentioned already : Nokia 770, N800, N810, E70, and E90. OK, the 770, N800 and N810 aren't phones and they supersede each other (though they do VoIP), but the other two seem to be worth investigating, if you ask me.
I use an E90, and the keyboard is functional, though I wouldn't want to use it in anger - for that, I use an Apple bluetooth keyboard which I take along with me when I know I'm going to be doing stuff like that.
...and I third it, though I actually use putty it on an E90, which has a more conventional keyboard (iinm) - albeit at a price. I also use a bluetooth keyboard (the Al Apple one, as it happens) when I want to use it more extensively - I'm told it works with all S60 phones that have bt (and I don't see why it wouldn't).
I've used it for logging into my various Linux systems (Ubuntu, Ubuntu server, Fedora Core) as well as OS X.
Works nicely enough on the E90 with the high resolution display (800 x 352 pixels) using small fonts. I'm not sure how well it works one smaller or lower resolution screens like on the E70 (or the iPhone, for that matter).

Well, it is run by "Americans" (from the USA, not anywhere else in America), and USA people have proved that they seem hell bent on spreading paranoia about and hate for the USA - it's something they're undeniably best at.
1) It's "English", not "British English" (the Scotts, Welsh, and Irish have their own languages). The language spoken in England is simply "English" - call it "English English" if you must; and 2) Canadian English is different to English anyway.

...or China for that matter.
People seem to forget that the Chinese gov consider the US to be just as 'bad' as the US gov considers them; and, in many ways, they have a point, but it's the perception that's the key in this case, not the reality (whatever it might be).
I'll tried setting Maximum Ports to 4096 and that made some difference, but not a lot. I'll try the Timeout...checking...oh, it's already at 3600 seconds. Will reducing the values to 120 seconds have a positive effect (you don't say whether it's reducing or increasing that is important)?
I use DD-WRT on my WRT54G, and just using the QoS didn't make much different. My theory is that it isn't (just) the bandwidth that is the issue but the number of connections. I adjusted my client to reduce the number of connections and it freed up pretty much everything else. I can only assume my ISP limits the number of connections more than my router.
Is what based on....? It's a question. It's not based on anything apart from people's claim that there's no point in buying the thing. I had assumed that people who could design their own board would not produce one for no purpose when they themselves could get them cheaper elsewhere. That just would be too stupid for words...
I agree with the gp. I would seriously consider buying a card to promote their purpose - actually, I would probably just give them the money because the card is close to useless to me. If it were actually a functioning graphics card, I would consider getting one.
I know some people have more alturistic characters than others. You're free to do what you like with your money, of course.
Unfortunely, I am not free to do what I like with my money. I'm married.

Ouch. That's got to suck. I wonder why they did that?
Ah, thanks for the spelling correction.
However, I don't see that the other statistics prove anything.
What's an "Internet browser"?
He could have invented a "web browser" easily enough without an "internet" - just having a few computers would have worked just fine.

The iPhone has bluetooth, doesn't it?
Why not do what I did with my Nokia E90 and buy an Apple bluetooth keyboard? It works really nicely with my Nokia.

Well, IMO, that's not true on two counts.
1) It's "English", not "British English" (the Scotts, Welsh, and Irish have their own languages). The language spoken in England is simply "English" - call it "English English" if you must; and
2) Canadian English is different to English anyway.

..but do you not get the bags because they cost you a few pence, or does the cost remind you of the environmental cost and *that* stops you?
Oooh. I see.
Well, they've charged for bags ever since I've been going (in China). Seems like it might be something new to the US.
I have several pieces of Ikea furniture, and almost none of it is plastic - it's wood and/or metal, mostly.
Is it different in the USA?
"whom"???
Damn.
