What wasn't so great with the phone version, for paying? I know the sign-up is fine, as I did that on my E72 no problem.
Thanks. Fi (on Nokia E5) ----------------------------- From: "Paul Hopkins" Subject: Re: Bring Dropbox to your Symbian Device in 5 easy Steps! Date: 10th March 2011 5:23 pm No Fi, I haven't yet. I can say that it is accessible though. I looked at the site with my mobile and on the PC. I'd say the mobile experience was a bit clunky but, accessible. The PC experience is better for sure. So you just go to the page to pay and you are asked for the usual name, address, email etc. Then next page is card details. Definitely a service worth paying for. If you subscribe to DropBox extra space, you pay an additional 10% separately to Dropdav. They charge every three months to keep admin costs down. Awesome all round. Cheers.
