I know this is slightly off the topic of shares, but need some input please. I am looking to buy a business phone that is also a quick and easy way to log onto OST and trade shares, at the mo I'm leaning towards the Nokia N97, touch screen, qwerty key board etc. Any one have this phone or a better alternative?

I am a real fan of the BlackBerry Bold - plan to get one shortly when i can upgrade my contract. Ask a few guys online, they have this model and are very happy with it.

none, because they don;t run flash .. some such as the E71 has flash ability, but that's for static content .. not web based ..

Hot off the press: Tomorrow at MAX, Adobe's worldwide developer conference, Adobe Systems Incorporated will announce with partner Research In Motion (RIM) their progress in bringing Flash support to BlackBerry devices. RIM, the company behind BlackBerry's wireless platform, including email and touchscreen technologies, is joining Adobe's Open Screen Project, a 50-organization-members-strong organization that aims to promote better apps for richer mobile, television, and desktop browsing experiences for users. With this announcement, 19 out of the top 20 mobile handset manufacturers are now collaborating with Adobe to integrate Flash technology into their devices. Also at MAX, Adobe and Nokia are jointly announcing the funding of more than 35 multi-screen applications as part of the Open Screen Project Fund. Several apps will be demonstrated at the show, including Twitter client Twittle, interactive map MyFestivalGuide, entertainment app SmartGrooves, frequent flyer app MileBlaster, real-time audience feedback app Live TalkBack, and many more. Adobe is also announcing support for HTTP streaming and several new mobile-ready features, including multi-touch, gestures, accelerometer, and screen orientation. Flash Player 10.1 is the first consistent browser-based runtime from the Open Screen Project that offers browsing of Flash-based web apps, HD video, and other content on smartphones, netbooks, other Internet-enabled devices. Flash support is also expected for several other mobile platforms, including Google Android, Symbian, Palm webOS, and Windows Mobile. A public developer beta will be available for Windows Mobile, webOS, and desktop operating systems before the end of the year. A public developer beta for Android and Symbian should be announces early in 2010, with general availability and publicly available devices coming in the first half of 2010.
