Nokia (and other Symbian licensees) naturally tend to keep user knowledge of what goes on under the hood as out of the way as possible, but for power users Jukka Silvennoinen's free Y-Browser utility is a true Swiss Army knife that will aid troubleshooting and give you increased functionality. Here's my review of the version for all S60 3rd Edition devices.
Read on in the full article.
Good review Steve,
One quirk I have noticed in the upgrade from .70 to .75 then .77 is that earlier versions of Y-browser (Y stands for Yucca?) used to show the super locked down folders such as C:\Sys or C:\Private although no contents were listed, whereas .77 doesn't display the said folders at all. I wonder if that was intentional or not? Either way, the latest additions to the 0.77 version are most welcome, such as looking directly at mail attachments and opening files in a text window.
I agree, given that this software is free it should be on every S60v3 handset out there.

Give it the ability to browse windows network shares on your LAN. I can't believe no one supports this yet. What's the point of wifi if all you can do is surf the web?

Wi-Fi can be used for email, instant messaging, podcasting, video and audio streaming, Voice over IP, FTP, etc. (and, of course, accessing Windows file shares, if someone writes the client software).
I use my E61 to listen to internet radio round the house over wi-fi...
And I would say that browsing network shares is more important in a business phone than anything you listed except for perhaps email which in general doesn't need Wifi. And do you know of an FTP client for S60v3? I haven't found anything native and the one java program I found was so slow as to be useless.
