If you made the mistake of adding three or four accounts to your email settings then you can experience the added joy of this prompt repeating itself four times. Every time you’re out of signal and looking at email.
Almost as annoying as the ‘what connection bearer would you like to use’ Symbian message along with the ‘are you sure?’ app install prompts.
