    I use Yahoo Go 3 on my Symbian-based Nokia E71 and have loved it for its lightweight interface into Yahoo email – and I will be sad to see it go. The new mobile interface is horrid by comparison, trying to do too much with too little and consuming far too much bandwidth for what it does. Instead of 15-20 seconds and 5 button presses with one hand to check to see if I have new mail, it takes over 2 minutes, both hands, and upwards of 50 button presses. The convenience factor is gone. I’ll probably abandon it altogether and forward my email to google where I can use IMAP to pick up the mail.
