After the initail launch of the iPhone one I never really wanted one as never has much but after new one coming out with 3g and gps and now apps being available for it it started to appeal to me more. I did get the iPhone today the 8gb version and I must say am very impressed. Let's see when the novelty where's off if it's really a practical phone. Busy downloading new firmware for it v2.1

Email on nokia

I am trying to use my nokia more for email as i am trying to move my
private mail from the berry to another platform as i am trying to not carry
so many devices. I usually carry 4 but want to drop down from 4 to 2. Nokia
have released there own push type mail client but its still in beta. I do
like the shortcuts in mail application, however its still early days. The
built in mail client pales in comparison to other platforms like windows
mobile and bb. But the best email experience on nokia devices can be found
with profimail. Just wish nokia could something similar built into os. So
far am enjoying profimail :-)

Rss feeds in default web browser

Am using Bb 8110 with 4.5 installed. I opened an rss link by accident and was expecting jumbled mess but was pleasantly surprised when it listed the rss feed corectly. I could even open the items and see the article. I am not sure if this is because of 4.5 better browser or will work on older firmwares browsers. Will check and update. If you can't run viigo for your news feeds I can suggest this method. Another method is using google reader mobile.

Viigo update

Well viigo have released another update to there program. If you still using older version would suggest you go update it. As with any beta product am sure will have lots of bug fixes. Head on over to www.viigo.com/beta
