My nice internet-ready N80ie? Nope. Same thing with Windows Live messenger on 3. Or Yahoo Go! Three won't let me download Yahoo GO, "unavailable for your handset", yet I can download it directly from the Yahoo site and it works perfectly. WHY are Three limiting handsets like this? I would assume that Yahoo is supplying the software to them in the first place, and I would assume that, as a Java app, it would work on most modern phones. Three are frustrating beyond belief in this regard - although I think their X-Series is brilliant, a satisfied customer in that regard.

I mean, 3 is an obvious choice for Yahoo!, do you think Vodafone or Orange would associate themselves with the crap Yahoo! produce??
