It's REALLY widescreen: http://www.nokiausa.com/phones/9300

Lots of people don't care for it due to the Symbian OS. I nearly got the Motorola Q. However it's great for what I need it for. However after switching from Verizon to Cingular, I am missing the faster EVDO network.

Mine plugs into the ESPN network and I can get access to exclusive ESPN mobile content not to mention down video highlights. It can even show "gametracks" of games currently going on...will be very cool during football season. I have only had it for a few months but it is pretty cool so far.

i find that all pocket pc browsers suck except for thunderhawk. thunderhawk resizes all your web pages to fit a specified resolution. since you're using their servers to resize web pages, there's a subscription fee. :(

Opera Mobile is WAY better than thunderhawk, IMO.

i don't think opera resizes your web pages the last time i remember. i'll have to give it a try again.

Of all the phones/PDAs/smartphones I've tried, Opera is definitely my favorite. I can even view Java sites and Flash sites with no problems. Unlike past phones that would resize or cut out content, it's just like browsing on a home PC. I'm actually using the regular version of Opera, not the Mobile version.

I have a NES emulator on my phone,... so I can play all 500+ NES games.

They're lot better than most cell phone games,.... great for playing a few minutes at a time if needed.


I also use a CRAZY amount of text messages.
