Some (probably) stupid questions

1. Does the wifi part mean i can browse the internet on my phone if i have an active wifi connection? I don't want to use WAP or the internet over my phone carrier as it's stupidly expensive, but wifi i can use at uni for free and would prefer that.

Also, from what i've read you get a little mouse cursor and it's basically the same as it is on the computer?
So in theory, would i be able to get onto say this website, and type a response to a topic?

What i'm looking to use this for is while i'm at uni say if i'm confused or want to look something up, i can bring up google, bam search and find whatever i want?
Or get bored and go onto some websites and muck about on there?

Basically is it like a mini pc?

2. The other thing was, I'm tossing up between the N95 8gb, and the Samsung G810. They both seem similar spec'd, samsungs a better looker, nokia seems to be a bit better hardware wise and have a much larger community in case anything goes wrong or i want any tricks, but anyways, the camera is what i'm on about, and in reviews alot of guys are saying the n95 camera is actually better than the samsung, (both being better than the k850i) but it kinda seems odd to me that a camera nearly a year old is better than samsungs newest model? So is there any truth to this or is it a bit of fanboy wank?


I mean, the reason i'm looking at these two phones is i want a very good camera phone, because i never use a still camera but would like the option in everyday life or if i'm out at night whatever, but, also, it needs to have really good web capabilities, unfortuanetly i have to go top of the line as it doesn't really seem like there are any alternatives, i must be in a real niche or something.



Anyways, summary:
1. Will the N95 8gb do what i want in a web browser and let me type big questions like this?
2. Is the camera as good as they say it is?


Cheers.

yeap! integrated web browser its cool, you can watch almost any web without problems, but.. due to the small screen (resolution) its not too confortable, you dont get the same experience as on the pc (or an iphone!), anyways there is opera mini available for free (its really good! but lacks of flash) and some other are on the way.. like skyfire and opera mobile 9.5 (both looks amazing!)

2. Is the camera as good as they say it is?

yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhh!! its reeaaally good!, i also do read a lots of reviews of the G810, and i think its sucks!, n95 take awesome pictures! (but in bad lighting conditions it doesnt, because it just have led flash), and with the latest firmware camera is actually really fast (not as an standalone digital camera offcourse), buuuuuuuut... if you want a really good cameraphone go for the n82, it has a xenon flash!

saludos!

oh another question;

In Australia, I was thinking about going with Optus (a carrier) but they have some **** i've seen on other peoples phones where they have their logo in the phone or their own menu item or applications.
Can I get rid of that junk after i get the phone? Don't care if there's a legit or dodgy way to do it, just wanna know if it's possible.

If you update your firmware and debrand your phone it should rid it of any carrier logo's etc.Read tips section on this site and follow the well laid out instructions.
