Once google stops being pissy we can use that for free....But for now they want to use Mail for exchange...Nokia only....


Google have finally released push email for your gmail accounts, works great with Roadsync. Just use m.google.com as the server address , normal gmail username and password, leave the domain address blank, ssl enabled and voila, push gmail!

Yes, I agree, it's a great phone! but until you get into trouble with it. My innov8 is also one year old, but I'm experiencing problems. The reliability of the components seems to be the weak spot of this phone. I thing this is the reason for which the N86 8MP (http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1754&view=1&c=nokia_n86_8mp) has appeared. The N86 8MP is the "Innovate" for the Nokia addicts. Theese two phones are practicaly identical. I have one as replacement for my defective i8510 and I think I will became back a Nokia fan(atic) as I was for my first (reliable) N95. So, what say you guys?

Yes the N86 also seems to be a good phone, until you get into trouble with it...

Gosh, if they are identical, what makes the N86 so much better that it takes Nokia one year after Samsung to release it? And it has nothing innovative in it - just an attempt by Nokia to cash in on the 8MP slider craze, which has already died down by the way. I can see you upgrading from an N95 but I won't give my i8510 away for one. Rant over.

No. I won't give my Innov8 away. And I didn't think that N86 is much better than innov8, it's practically the same, that why I like it :) . I can imagine even an agreement between Samsung and Nokia for spliting the market as beeing the reason for the later release of the N86. For me it looks like Nokia waited to see the problems/discontaints with innov8 and N96 and to fix them in N86: better batery life (bigger batery: 1200mAh), better camera, faster CPU than N96 ;) ; faster CPU than innov8 but no graphic accelerator :?: ; better display (AM-OLED) than N96 and innov8 :o

It's a downgrade from the Innov8 if you ask me . . . I don't need much more on my Innov8, I've done enough with it to know what will and won't work with it and as a result I'm over-prepared on my Innov8 to make things work on it when I want to and I need it to work.

To be honest, the phone is great, but also from my experience over the past year, I'm glad that i changed this phone. The first reason is because the phone was sooo expensive when I bought it and until now there was no official Firmware update?!?!?(through Phone updater), second reason is that during the period of 1 year i changer 3 Samsung innov8...The first one that I bought died only after using it for 3 months...Thank gad that I had Guarantee so the gave me new one (second innov8), an so on on ...until the third one died (11 months after the baying the first one). All 3 innove8s just stopped working, with no reason(i haven't done anything to cause the malfunction).And at the end, because the guarantee of the last innov8 was valid, whet the service told me that I can have same phone (new) again, or I can choose another one I was very happy that I could get rid of this phone :( (not because it wasn't good, but because it was unreliable). So now i have SE Satio :)

I realized, that innov8 has no future anymore > Nokia N900 (With portable version of Debian Linux), but I still visit sometimes this site :)
