<br>> amounts of<br>>> data when I am<br>>> not connected to WLAN with the N770, however, looking what is new in a<br>>> forum is<br>>> a few seconds long task with the N770 even with a GPRS-connection
<br>> :) ).<br>><br>> A gmame (or sourceforge) like interface to the mailinglists accomplishes<br>> about the same for the email part.<br>><br>><br>>> There are different competing forum softwares out there. Which one
<br>> would<br>>> you prefer by the way in case you would like the idea?<br>>> For example one of my favourite forums allows picture attachments<br>> and it<br>>> is pretty cool feature<br>>> that is not present in the phpbb:

<br>>> I was just thinking of<br>>> some screen shots, it would be a lot easier to attach a picture to the<br>>> message than put<br>>> the picture to your home page, and then create a [img] [/img] -link to
