> Are you running an iPhone now?

Nope, still havent got around to it yet, mainly because the 3GS
aint even multitasking and that is a complete pain in the arse
for GPS apps alone, and the 4 has that stupid antenna design
problem and is too new to be decent value anyway.

> If so, do you miss the N95?

Nope, still using it. The only thing I really miss is a decent touch screen.

That works so well on the TomTom GPS that I wish the phone had it too.

I've been a bit tempted to go to one of the later Nokias like the N97
to get that but then the iphone changed to proper multitasking with
the 4 and that tempted me even more, particularly that X10 app.
I use X10 multiple times a day and I have to remember the numbers
with the current X10 remotes. Thats not that convenient given that
I have almost run out of numbers in a single X10 block.
