Today it's changed a bit- and Sat is now showing 18C instead of 19C. But then it's weather, and change is what it does. But certainly, until Sat, sunshine isn't a feature.

I also ended up with a data roaming charge of something like 13 pence - not quite enough to phone up and find out what happened, but enough to believe that the "Data Roaming" switch isn't entirely functional. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm
