I'm not entirely sure how they did it - I'm suspecting a combination of devil worship and illicit favours - but Mobile-Review have managed to put a pre-production Nokia N96 through its paces months before the handset is intended to launch in Q3 this year.

Looks like it wasn't just the jkOnTheRun boys who got Celio Redfly demo units; Matthew Miller has been playing with the Smartphone Companion too, including putting together a video of it in action (which you can watch after the cut).

Back in the days when I regularly used a Pocket PC, Access' NetFront browser was my salvation from Pocket Internet Explorer. Now, Microsoft have tweaked PIE in the meantime, but it still pales compared to the current browser-du-jour: mobile Safari on the iPhone; what's needed is a Windows Mobile app which can handle not only full webpages but all the multimedia and Flash ...
