... Anyone else using it?

I think it is pretty good. I tried downloading Opera again but they dont give you it for free anymore 😞

I like the mouse option on the in built one 😊

I think most people are using it because it is a considerable improvemnet over previous version (services). One problem is that it can view wap page.

I utterly love it. I use it a lot at home, but the range on the wifi is disapointing in my phone, and it often cuts out and the phone itself doesn't realise. So I end up stuck, wondering why my page won't load. I usually end up standing up 😊

It's incredible what they have managed to do too, I find the PSP completely useless at browsing the web, and page rendering (when I last used one) was appauling. The N80 kicks butt at it.

I really dont understand everbodies complaints about wifi signal...

I live in a 5 bedroom house, In the attic room. My USB Wifi key is up by the beams, at the centre of the house's roof.

I get 100% signal in my room, 80% signal on upstairs landing, 60% signal downstairs kitchen, 50% in the lounge (Other end of house)... and about 30% in the whole garden...

So basically.. it works EVERYWHERE.. and never disconnects. It can happily sit there streaming a movie or listning to music without interuption.

What kind of range are you guys seeing in your N80s?

It also depends on the wifi hub (in my case a BT 2100) and also general interfearance. But I know my PC laptop won't work in some areas when my mum's mac does.

I have greatest difficulty on my N80 when on the floor below the router. I don't think my router is particularly well positioned for the house however. But if you think about it, the N80 would get much lower watt (I think the setting says 100mW) than any laptop would.
