Podcast feed now fixed. Sorry about this. I dashed off to London for a Sony Ericsson event and had forgotten to tick the right box. Bad Rafe!

Re: The OmniaHD/i8910/i8910HD - I've got one! Received it on the 19th/20th (can't remember exactly) from Mobiles.co.uk through Orange.

And... it's great! Really just a faster, more sensitive (due to the capacitive screen) version of the 5800 (my other phone) with a much better camera/video recorder and fantastic DivX/Xvid playback performance on the gorgeous AMOLED screen.

That pretty much somes it up! Not a bad deal on Orange either from Mobiles.co.uk - all in all can't complain!

That is awesome I can't wait to get one in the US.. anyone have any idea when it is coming out? PC World says it's releasing in Europe in a few weeks.

Great show guys, laughed at Ewan even more than usual.

Im eagerly waiting for your thoughts on Maemo and that new non tablet thingy.

Nice punchy podcast guys.

Amazed at some of the choices for 'this is going to change everything', specifically Ovi and 9210.

OK so Ovi continues to evolve, but is it really going to be a game changer? And the 9210 - honestly, what one thing did it change?

For me, I'm split on:
a) The N95 as the first truly converged device
b) Reliable and widely available 3.5G network speeds - great being able to download files faster than your office's LAN
c) The user interface/capacitive touch screen of the iPhone. Look at how many manufacturers (Nokia included) have emulated this. Like it or not, a true game changer.
