no need for a third party app. Just go to menu -> connect. -> conn. Mgr and you'll have the list of wlans in range, refreshed every few seconds. If that's not enough, download Nokia WLAN wizard (must be somewhere on the nokia web site, i think it was designed for the N80 internet edition so you might find it on its support page) which does the exact same thing but also allows you to launch the web browser directly once you've found a hotspot.

the onboard wlan finder is not that good, it doesnt find half the wlans hotspot finder found!!

I have tracked down the N80 app and it runs, here is the link if anyone wants it

Just downloaded and installed this program. Thanks for the heads up on this one as it solves one of my many issues with my beloved e70.

no probs, though i dont find it as 'sensitive' as the psiloc application.

no m8, it is found here http://shop.psiloc.com/en/Applicatio...Hotspot+Finder though it is on the standard e61 from 3, you get a 'free' period then you have to pay or they have some 'loyalty' program that I cant make head nor tails of.

I don't like things I have to pay for so I'll make due with what I have here. Thanks for the info though!

Probably because the psiloc app cranks up the radiation being put into your brain to get better reception.

Yeah, I hear ya there. I have a HORRIBLE time with trying to connect to networks. I will do a search and it will show several networks and when I try to connect it gives me a couple messages that I can't recall at the moment but it happens more often than not. Is something set up incorrectly in my phone or is this pretty much what everyone else is getting with this phone?
