Never, ever forget that this Symbian OS is a powerful multi-tasking Operating System. Here's a terrific example. Why not grab your email in the background? In Messaging (properly set up, I hope, with messages below a certain size being downloaded in full and with others just retrieved as headers), press 'Retrieve e-mail' and then close the 9500 up. That's right, you heard right. Close it up, the screen goes off, and so on, and you get on with your life (running for the bus, nipping to the loo, etc). When convenient, a few minutes later, open up the Communicator and you'll see everything fetched as-per-your-instructions and ready to read. How cool is that? And who needs the hassle and expense of 'push' email when the 9500 make email so easy?
