Hmm - do you have an 8Gb one?? My vanilla Silver N95 runs it like a treat..

I *really* liked it but it slowed my N95 down like you wouldn't believe...

Hey, another great podcast, guys! And thanks for the shout out! My website is not nseries.com, cause Nokia wanted that one for some reason. The Nokia Daily News lives at nseriesUS.com...

About the iphone push tests... Didn't Ben say there was no signal? This might not work so well, yeah? I would liked to have seen the iPhone vs another device with real push to see which received the message first. Graphics are great, out takes are great. Slamming UK carriers might be a bit... locallized, but certainly of interest to UK users.

Personally, I'd like to see more drinkin and cussin. Ewan, lemme know when you're in San Francisco. I'll buy you a pint!

and the free WiFi!

With a non-standard SIM in (that we have't fully gauged reliability of), on an overloaded WiFi (with 35 other geeks pounding it), in a poor signal area (granted may be the phone's fault) and with an idiot trying to prove you wrong without checking his own phone settings first :-)

AJ - Agreed and I screwed up the 'repost' by not having push switched on. The iPhone has a good few problems (battery, crashing apps), but I think e-mail is actually one of the better experiences. Ewan's going to argue that the Blackberry does it better and although I've never been a BB user, I expect he could well be right, but it comes at a cost (for enterprise users who need a special server) or relies on BIS in 'consumer' mode which has been unreliable, ties you to a special BB tariff with your operator often and looks like arse (IMHO excepting the Bold possibly).

Very nice show! The best of all podcasts (with video). The good news is the shows keep getting better and better. Can't wait to hear the feedbacks when you're all back to London.

If I could, I would send the MIR feed link to the marketing guys at
B-T-R...(Thanks for feeling sorry for me as I happen to be a "happy canadian mobile user" ...total irony as those words can't go in the same sentence) to wake them up.
Huuumm, I should also put some banners on street light poles to tell canadian customers to visit the web site for trusted mobile industry review.

Well done guys and MIR have made it up to #1 on the list of my mobile industry related feed.

I can recommend the Fish & Chips. They were lush.

You're right, we'll compare in future. I didn't help with the production
though -- I forgot to bring my Blackberry. I think the piece stands on it's
own two feet though -- what you saw there was me trying to send a mail to
Ben via my iPhone...

I finally caught up with the Video Podcat over the weekend and then caught this one this morning. *Such* a great job. There was a serious lack of good Mobile related podcasts at the beginning of the year so MIR podcast is a welcome addition. Thanks for setting the standard so high guys, looking forward to the next episode.

Oh and as for the podcast, I object to being called a Normob (I was the one with the iPhone 3G @ Brighton Tuttle in the video) ;) and that post I mentioned about the iPhone is up at MM2 if anyone is interested...

Afraid they've already gone, but we'll have more stuff soon. They're not 'great', but Etymotics were good enough to give us them so why not share the love?

Yes people... we got pens.

It is all very well slating email on the iPhone but you dont compare it with anything else. I have an old iphone and I dont know of any device's email app that comes close, certainly none of the Nokia's I have ever used. I could go out and try every phone on the market but that is kind of what I hope you guys can do.

NB The number of posts on this site seems to be inversely proportional to the number of contributors.

Nice show though.
