Appears their firmware removes VoIP I wonder will Three Ireland do the same? Full story here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/04/18/n95_crippled/

considering they blocked the whole internet until recently i'd say its quite likely.

until they dropped the walled garden, the wifi on the n80 wouldn't work

They are only delaying the inevitable really. If they lose on voice revenue they will make it up in other ways.

god thats sad. nothing pisses me off more than networks butchering firmware to lock it down and load up pointless extras, i wouldn't mind as much but the subsidies on handsets have dropped off considerably on handsets now that more smartphones have come to market. we'll end up like the us carriers next... there will be an "N96" sans wifi like the E62 or something. shocking.
