Er... profiles, I mean. :P I use Firefox add-ons for the occasional web development tasks. (Too bad, not all my favorite extensions are available in the workplace's "blessed" add-ons repository, but I can live with what's in there.) Sometimes, though, having too many add-ons slows down the browsing experience, specially for times when you just need to browse stuff and not much else.

I then downloaded Google mobile apps . The E series comes with email integration, but I've grown to love the Gmail mobile client. The kicker, though, is S2 puTTY , the S60 port for the nifty puTTY secure shell client. Hey, I'm a command-line zea...
