Doesn't have WiFi though, which I thought that I'd miss but as I have a great 3G tariff with inclusive net access it's only a minor downside. Plus it is a lot more compact than the N80...

Tried everything - EyeConnect, TwonkyVision, but no joy. If you do come across something that will allow me to share media between Mac and N80 via WiFi please let me know! Meanwhile, here's a good tip- Opera Mini. http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/operamini/ I was also disappointed to discover that the UPnP features aren’t compatible with a Mac.

Lets hope that the issue is resolved by the time that Orange get to sell them.

I have heard some mentions in forums that some 2GB cards aren't compatible with the N80, this may be an issue for you. It may be worth having a look in HowardForums? Once more 3rd edition software comes out these handsets are really going to be the bees-knees ;-) I was also unable to connect to my Mac via Wifi. uPnP also was a non-starter, although the N80 has this capability there isn’t a great deal of software for Macs or PC’s.

I don't have quite as many problems on mine as some others, possibly due to newer firmware. Also have a Mac, and cannot get the N80 to connect to it over WiFi, but Bluetooth is pretty speedy. Having issues with loading files onto a half-full 2GB MiniSD... I have no idea why they refuse to copy! Anyway, the N93 is sure to impress, but for me, it lacks DVB-H and also a touchscreen, which is the one feature I hope the N80's successors include (It's impossible to highlight a single word on S60 in my experience!) Also waiting more software for Series60 3rd edition... I am hoping the sheer numbers of E-series and newer N-Series helps usher more software than SonyEricsson and others on UIQ...
