Why are you using roaming internet to stream stuff from iplayer? You know with 'unlimited web' it's still capped at like 500mb a month then charged by the mb? (I have an N97 with orange on £40pm and that's what it is anyway).

It's probably a good thing it's stopping you!

So i can watch a video when im on the bus? lol what else would i use the internet for? xD

Thought I;d hijack this thread rather than start a new one.

Anyone know a decent web browser for the N97? I've just got the Vodafone my web thingy, just wondering if theresa better one anywhere?

i was recomended sky fire but for some reason i couldnt get it to work, and its meant to be made for the n series or phones on windows mobile.

You can't use the BBC iPlayer with "roaming internet" - you must have Wi-Fi internet connection.

It's the same with my iPhone.

yes, Wifi is when connected to the net via a router, not by using 3G
