with the right marketing and iPlayer shipping in uk retail units
it stands a chance.

presumably it will work on all recent s60 phones
but as you all know its the way its sold thats important

now N85 will probably have it too.

its headed the way of many of the N 9 series – sim free only. – like N91/93/93i. N92 never even made it here sim free did it?

the main reason is O2 will be pushing the livign daylights out of the N85.
and teh N95 8gig is still a good seller – its as good/better than N96 and alot cheaper

I pay a fair bit a month and want a phone that reflects that, I personally don't think the iPhone does.
