Hi Niels,

No I haven’t tried the full version of Opera Mobile. But I think the problem is that when you visit a page the page is rendered through Operas network somehow.

If you dont have network connection, then its a no go!

Well, I would go for the E61 (or E61i now) or the N95..you have a pretty good choice.

There is a new Fon client for Symbian phones now. Have a look at that also:

How about using Opera Mobile?? Opera Mini is mostly for java-only-phones. Download the 30-day free trial here:

OK, I found this somewhere:

“I think it might interest you and other eddicteds that FON (you know, this huge WiFi Community out there) has launched a beta testing for their Symbian smart client that will connect you to all FONspots which are already over 75.000 worldwide! If you are interested, send an email to client-betatesting (at) fon.com.”

Interesting! Seems like we’ll be able to be FONeros afterall!

Gerry, thanks for posting! One problem though… where can I find the “WLAN Power Save” feature?

I found this on Fon board:

… it seems that this problem is somehow caused by the “WLAN Power Save” feature of the phone. After turning this off the problems are gone. As this probably drains the batteries I hope Fon and / or Nokia are able to optimize the connection between their devices.

Devicescape is a piece of software that makes auto-logon on WiFi networks simple on all kind of devices. Nokia E61 & N80 is not supported yet though…check out the current list of supported devices here: http://www.devicescape.com/learnmore/devices.php
