Which Nokia phone has the best WiFi range?

The iphone has much better range... I would expect that certain nokia models would be better or worse. I know my n95 isn't that great.

Thanks

The Nokia Wifi PDA phone also comes with a QWERTY keyboard that makes sending and compiling emails very simple and other than this feature the Nokia E71 White offers considerable memory and SDRAM that begins at 128 MB and the handset works at a pretty good pace.

My N86 has a range of about 30 yards, but the power of the transmitter is bound to make a difference. Also whether the signal has to come through walls and other obstructions.

I made some free-field experiments (without interferences from other access points) and connectivity is maintained up to 350m (!). But packet drops increase dramatically, while netto throughtput decreases.
