Any third party web-browsers and e-mail clients?

Well, there's Opera Mini for an alternative browser. For email, there's Profimail, which makes POP3 access from many accounts a whole lot easier, as it uses the one connection to access them all. Also has an automated retrieval facility, so you can leave it running and it will go off and check your mail at predetermined intervals. Available from lonelycatgames.com who offer a good trial period for it.

ill have a look, is there any more? would like a free application if possible..

Opera mini is free but java based while Opera mobile is a symbian app and absolutely kick ass!

I think the native Symbian web browser is brilliant, but I agree the email client is rubbish.

I thought so too until I started using Opera mobile. It just seems faster and has more options for display etc. I also like that it will allow you to download files of unknown types. The built in browser wouldn't do torrent files as it didn't know what to do with them but Opera will just get them and save them for you. You can then open symtorrent and add them. Basically you can download torrents entirely on the phone.
It is handy if you want to download something and just store it on the phone until you get home to a PC.

Thats amazing, do you know if the download speed would be true? i.e. if you are connected to a 2mb adsl line through wireless, will it download at that speed?

I don't imagine its any different to a PC running a wifi connection. That said, a 2mb line will never give you 2mb/second download speed becasue 2mb is the theoretical maximum (you could achieve it if there was zero interference, you were right next to the exchange and no one else was using any part of the infrastructure!)

Yeah i understand how it works, but i was just thinking there may be some sort of restriction on the downstream/upstream rate on these N95's, would be good to see some sort of application to test the transfer rates.

I seriously cant belive there is no decent e-mail clients for these handsets though, real shock 😞

There is, Profimail, but you have to pay for it. 😉
