My we are a grumpy techno fobe bunch aren't we!

But yes what IS that all about with ring tones? (terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tired)  ;D

I don't get that either.. mine goes..

Actually I can't remember what mine does, nobody ever calls me  :D :D

Mine just rings, old fashioned ring ring. :)

Some observations so far. Browser is disappointing. But only from what I am used to. N900 browser was far easier to read. Why is the text so small on safari mobile?

Still miles ahead of the bug riddled maemo effort though.

Yep... But I've got good eyes so not really an issue... Plus zoom is easy to use :y Biggest issue I have (and it may just be me being thick!) is that if quoting text I can't get the cursor to the end of the text box :-?

Yes that is annoying, or I'm being thick as well. Or is it more that the box does not centre on the relevant area where the cursrer is? For instance on this page, quoted, reply page appears but the box is so small I have to zoom in, then two finger drag the text up to reveal the end of the conversation. Sometimes the cursor is in the fight place, if it's a lot of text it isn't.

I wondered about visiting the reply page on windows and dragging to box size to maximum, or at least bigger as suits, then leave it like so. Then, on my n95, the reply box used to appear much bigger. So more of the text would be visible, depending on what size the box was left.

Needles to say only windows browser seems to have the drag box size option.

I find using it in landscape makes it readable.  But then you are very old....

Its not ideal, esp on long quotes, but I don't find it a massive problem TBH.  Its more of an issue in landscape and on a slow connection, then the screen estate is virtually fully taken up with keyboard and progress bar....


....mind you, apparently I'm the king of abrupt/one word answers ::)

Yes.
:P  in the grand scheme of things it's no biggy, but if memo browser was bug free it would be better.... But it isn't bug free, so that's that.

Increase text size is available for other functions, like mail, text, calendar and notes iirc. Maybe in v4.3.

Yes tried it, but not so keen in brief first use. Might have a better look later.

A surprising number of other browsers available I notice.

I'll avoid quoting the biggest quote in existence ..

I find the text is very small - but much more readable than the 3G I had previously thanks to the screen.. But generally when I actually want to read a post I'll double-tap in the post area and let Safari auto-zoom in to the current 'cell' of the page..

Or I'll just pinch-zoom and then swipe around to read stuff, but usually double-tapping in landscape gets me the view I need.

Be thankful it's not a Blackberry - can't read a thing on that, and zoom is a case of Menu->scroll a bit->select zoom->press button a few times->scroll around..
