I’m not exactly a normob (my friends would rate me as a pc geek) but this is my first experience of the mobile internet apart from the occasional (and expensive) use of wap and java apps and it’s already changing my perception of communication. And I’ve only just started playing with MobileMail, Fring, Shozu and Google Maps — later I’ll try out Truphone, Mobizines and remotely controlling my bittorrent downloads…

But I can’t see myself pushing the X-Series experience to my friends and co-workers until I find normob guides to S60, setting up apps and customising the UI on these amazing phones.

Any recommendations for useful websites and applications?

ps. I signed up with Three SOLELY because of their enlightened attitude to 3G data but the next guy in the shop turned down unlimited email for £2.50/mth!
:-)
