Does O2 Do EDGE?
Talkback So 70% of the UK don't have EDGE -- so can't get e-mail or web browsing on an iPhone without a personal WiFi network -- so would do better with the bottom of the range Nokia (that can get e-mail over the "plain old telephone system").

Traveling Success With Linux
Blog Comment I promise you, I didn't download or add anything to get WiFi connections working on Ubuntu and Kubuntu (both Hardy Heron 8.04.1). As for Mandriva, it was every bit as easy to set up the WiFi, and it works just as well.

Alternative Mobile Devices

SightSpeed To Announce Linux Version
Blog It looks like they are trying to make it as easy as they have already done with WiFi networking. Assuming that succeeds, you can then have a really portable video calling system - no more running around looking for an adequate WiFi hotspot.

Member Review WiFi: The settings and network selection are not user friendly. Wifi connection is not quite stable when used in power conservation mode, otherwise it is stable and fast. Skype: If the WiFi is reliable the sound quality is very good.

Better Phones Required
Talkback I would buy the fusion wifi offering if better phone choice was available, specifically the choice of Nokia devices. I also don't see why I should pay (even 1 minute) for a phone call when it is using wifi.

OpenSUSE 11.0 First Impressions
Blog Comment I tried 7 different distributions of Linux, including all of the Buntu's, and none of the would detect my sound card or WiFi, until I found Mandriva. People wanting to try Linux should download the Live CD and try it first.
