    The only one I visit on a regular basis is the BBC website.

    An alternative you might want to consider is a piece of software called AvantGo. It downloads news from various sources into its viewer for access on the move. I don't know whether you can sync it up from your home PC but it definately works over the air.

    Nice phone, by the way.

    Check out Mobile Fun for cards up to 256MB. 512MB cards are on their way too.

    IIRC, you can play mp3s but you need to wrap them up in a DRM to do so. Why Vodaphone even bother is beyond me.
