Hey Guys,

I want to buy a new fone, I'd like it too have WLAN capabilities coz I've got a wireless set up at my place and there's a hot spot at the wimpy in republic road, accross from Damelin where I'm studying.

The question is, which fones, besides the Nokia 9300i and the 9500(discontinued) has got WLAN, and how much does it cost?

I've tried to fine out the retail price on the 9300i but due to the fact that any sort of e-commerce is non-existant in this country, I couldn't.

Your help will be appreciated.
 
Word of advice: buy some new glasses when you buy the phone. Will need it! Screens are just too darn small to work nicely, unless you use the ASCII interface! And beware of the web browser on the 9300i as well: it is not fully compatible with interactive sites! Some glitch in the JavaScript processing, I think!

Otherwise, nice phone!

Just make sure, if you get a iMate, that it doesn't break ... You'll wait ages to get it fixed by Leaf .... :(
