  Save your memory - Opera Mini
Just the perfect cure for out of memory messages caused by the full freight Opera browser. I've been using it on my 6681 and love it -- better than reqwireless ever was, and is really light on a low-onboard memory phone such as mine.

The Register speculated yesterday on whether this marks the beginning of the end for smartphones. I do agree that for me, at least, the big drivers for S60 usage are browsing and email (pop/push). One big reason has fallen by the wayside now that you can get content on most any java phone you'd like.

It will be interesting to see who is the first -- Yahoo! or Google -- to come out with a java push email client (Yahoo! appears to be in the lead with the Yahoo Go! software for Symbian 60). If that happens, it will really open up a lot of other phone options for me, especially since Nokia seems increasingly unable to move phones like the N91 to the market quickly enough to keep up with consumer expectations and Sony Ericsson competition.
