Avant NO. I read this review on PC World.com which got me a little worked up about the newest version of Avantgo, which I really used to love back in the old days of my PalmPilot. I had used the Symbian 60 version a year or so ago, and wasn't wild about the rendering of the pages, but I thought I'd give it another try, despite the fact that Doris Browser and Reqwireless WebViewer allow me to view all the content I want.

Once I downloaded it on my Nokia 6600 and tried to access my Avantgo channels, I immediately started getting error messages galore. Of course, when I went to the "manager" program to uninstall, it wouldn't allow me to do so.

It's one of my biggest pet peeves about certain S60 software -- certain programs are "uninstallable" via manager. The only way to successfully uninstall is to try and reinstall the program with the original .sis file; when you get to the second or third step in the process when it asks you if you want to uninstall the previous version, you click "ok" and after uninstall, you cancel the process.

Are the people who write the programs which are uninstallable through manager, such as the programmers at Avantgo, just inconsiderate or completely stupid?
