Impressive, especially the battery life. Even if it only manages half the quoted time, thats damn good!

Thank goodness theres finally an alternative to WAP.

I don't possess one either.
mind you, I do occassionally use the other half's one!

[Guru]

How can anyone be without one?

I dont remember the exact number on how many people have mobile phones in Finland but its well over 60% already!

I use mine (hmm hold on a sec...) 6 hours every week outgoing calls ~4H and incomming calls ~2H on average!

EDIT or was it 3/4 of the population? Dont remember!

What?

[Wulfman]

referring to a quite funny story I read some time ago.. (sorry, no link available)

they said the northern countries (skandinavia) are quite well equipped with broadband & mobile phones because of the special geographical situation.
long distances to travel, long time dark north of the antarctic circle and so on...

sorry for confusing

afair more than 50% of the people here have mobile phones (handys, as we call them)
