I don't think you can call the N70's browser a full browser. It's not bad, but it ain't good either.
However, all S60 3rd Edition phones have a full browser (either pre-installed or via download), and it's based off the same code as Safari. 3rd edition phones have been available for over a year, I'd guess.

Pretty much any Nokia...with a 1GB card
Actually, even with a smaller card, depending on how much they have on board.
For example, my Nokia 3250 can take a 2GB card. That's been available for a long time now.
A lot of phones have a slot where you can *add* memory - and the cards are getting bigger all the time. How long before they are 8GB or over? Assuming the phone can actually support those larger sizes, they can just add the bigger ones. The N95, for example, can have a 2GB card, if you feel you need it - it's a choice you make, not one they force on you. That's also been available for several months.
Also, I wonder just how much of that 4/8GB is used by the OS. At least all (well, most) of a card's capacity is for you to use.
Is it?...or is it just our inability to predict it that makes us think so?
If it were random, then all possibilities are equally likely, no? In which case, we'd see all sorts of weird things in the fossil record. None seem particularly weird to me, not that I've really looked. Perhaps I'm just desensitised to it all, but it does seem (to me) that most of the changes seem to make some sort of sense. If it's really random, where are all the failures - I don't see any obvious ones?
> Yeah, because Windows crashes so much less often than DOS did.
Ah, good point. It *isn't* rarer as 'one' advances...
> Going back even farther, I remember that my Apple II used to blue screen on me all the time. My Compucolor II would crash even before I turned it on!;)
Oh, so it *is* rarer as 'one' advances...
Ah, I see. You're arguing with that it's just as rare (!) as one advances. Fair enough.
...unless the facility provided by the application is inherently broken. For example, an application that allows any traffic to access the system from outside a firewall might be considered inherently insecure.
Somewhat hypothetical - I'm not saying Toredo is this way - but still.
Indeed. The n95 is out here in China too, which is *not* a small market at all. However, the n95 is still selling for close to (or over) $1000, so it's out of my reach. On the other hand, I suspect the iPhone will need some changes to work for the Chinese...I really can't imagine it working at all for entering Chinese, but perhaps it will.
sure, that's a point, but there are also phones that are flat, or mostly flat; like my Nokia 3250, for example. a bit more difficult than completely flat, I suppose, but there's not much in it.
in any case, this is a problem that all phones have. it's the smudged from fingers that we should worry about, I guess....and, like you say, flatter is better...
I wonder if there'll be an option for a bluetooth keyboard, like with Nokia phones. That would seem to be a fairly good alternative, for when you find yourself in need of a keyboard.
Ah, I forgot about the 'view settings'. I reduced mine when I was moderating so I could see comments that might have worth - and didn't set it back again....but yeah, it was intended as a joke anyway (albeit sarcastic). shrug.

Perhaps you're referring to a different post. I'm referring to this one, which is the one I was replying to. In fact, it'd be rude to reply to a post and quote a different one, I think.
Don't forget to look for such a button before advising someone else not to forget to click one. There is no such button, so how can I forget to click on it?
Actually, I suppose I can still forget to click on it, even if it doesn't exist...maybe. Ug. Can't think about that too much.

It seems a bit conflicted as to where Elk is :|
It's actually located on the left, not where the green arrow is.

Yes. It is distasteful.

Of course.

Actually, I think they're mildly amusing, so, if you can show me others, I'd love to see them.
...something to do with 'losers' and 'failures' perhaps? Curious...
BTW, what does "In summary, they are made of LOSE and FAIL." mean?
> It's not 'v' and 's'. It's just after a certain number of characters, to stop page-widening posts.
Ah, I see.
It seems like there should be a better solution....but, no, I can't think of one.
Don't ask awkward questions. Just be thankful you use awesomely reliably Apple products and not those other (spit) ones.
LOL. Who'd've thunk it actually had a meaning... ...back on topic, somewhat, I notice this article, about an 80GB iPhone... :
