Thanks for all the responses on and off list.

Looks like they did a good job butchering that phone. Surely NEC,  
Toshiba & Co. are still laughing about the attempts of Europe's  
finest in Japan. At the moment what it seems to do best is telephone  
calls, use as a BT modem and the POP/IMAP thing. Whether you need a  
fairly sluggish 3G "smartphone" to do that I am not so sure. The fact  
that the keypad lock deactivates when the fairly loose camera cover  
is moved in the pocket is also not a great design idea. The  
predictive text feature seems very good though.

I think I stick with my J-Phone branded phone (it at least displays  
the date of received emails and the weather forecast) and wait for  
the Yahoo branded handsets.

Thanks again

Dirk
