Ben,

Do you mean they charge you for 3G access? I don’t understand how someone could charge you for wifi access. Surely wifi access is not the operators business?

Ben,

in all fairness, the £180 charge is levied by three, not by Nokia. So it is not the phone which is bad, but the fact that three charge you £180 to use wifi on it.

I bought my E65 sim-free so I wouldn’t have to pay any of the operators to use wifi on the phone.

Hi, just got a E65 on three and it’s the worst phone ever. Why say it’s got wifi but they charge you £180 a year to use it….

Vincent,

I have wifi on constantly on my E65. I’m not always using it but it is on and connected to the network at all times. The battery has no problem lasting 24 hours.

The main shortcomings of the E65 are its camera is pretty poor (despite being rated at 2mb, it is nowhere near the quality of the 2mb N70); and the fact that it has no games pre-loaded.

Other than that I love it!

I would be interested in hearing how the battery holds up using the Wifi.

I wonder whether it will last 12 hours on a charge with moderate Wifi voice usage.

Tom,

Since you have Gizmo running, I’d suggest trying the new Gizmo client for S60.

Make sure your firmware is up-to-date tho’.

And its free for SIP-to-SIP calls.

So far, it works for me.

Best of luck with it Tom.
