That link is about the old iphone, not the 3g one, and -
However, now that it's possible (with a lot of work and probably breaking EULAs left, right, and center) to run third-party apps on the iPhone, someone has created a SOCKS proxy for Apple's gadget, and instructions are available on installing it. (Not for the faint of heart.)

Yesterday - for a variety of reasons it is an effective way for Mrs PS to send me pics of our baby daugther. I've also been exchanging pics with my sister in France.

There are other shiny things about it, but thats the winner for me.

All that being said, I've still got blackberry as the hardware keyboard is a must for me.

When a touch screen with haptic feedback comes out, I'll be on it like something proverbial.

I agree about the symbian browser, though.
