Nokia 5800 v21.0.25 and web

I have recently dusted off my 5800 and updated to the latest firmware over the air (ota). The download was a suprising 4 mb where when I have uswd pc suite it has downloaded over 100mb.

I will need to see the reviews before I jump as I am getting tiered of buying stuff that just doesn't work. There is windows mobile but there is not much to say on that The G1 or G2 but again lack of software or memory kills this for me. I have tried two devices but find it impractical and the n810 I have again has a bad web experience. Netbooks are too large to carry around all of the time to just get out and use. So I am on a fe
