A client for AvantGo is now available through Handango as freeware. The service provides perosnalised content to your device. Currently there is a choice of more than 2,500 channels. The service connects to my AvantGo, content is then sync'd (downloaded), and is viewable offline.

This is something of a surprise as there was no idnication of AvantGo developing a client for Series 60. The client for UIQ (P800) has not yet appeared.

my 3650 times out everytime i try to sync to avantgo's server... anyone else having similar issues?

Not really a suprise - I noticed it on the 7650 of the speaker at the Sun Tech Days a couple of weeks ago. He had the phone being projected on the screen.

I was a big fan of AvantGo years ago on the Palm, I'm looking forward to using it! Shame that it's 500k!

Managed to make 1 connection 3 days ago, nothing since.... 😞

I have try to install this appl on my phone, the setup file is huge, not forgetting the installation part...it's so huge that my phone can not install. CAN NOT MAKE IT even i have remove un-important appl and data from my phone.

I hope Avantgo will come out the next version, smaller or keep it under 50kb.
