Not only does it ruin the lines of your suit, it also makes you a more tempting target for pickpockets. Bearing this in mind, as much as liked my Nokia 6230, I found it to be a wee bit thick to carry... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~262128242308 Thu, 5 Oct 2006 10:14:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_262128242308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_220947975812?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Eutek - I have had to visit Edinburgh frequently in the past couple of weeks for work related reasons.
