god bless the iPhone - well a future version perhaps

For my sins I'm looking at how we can simply set up a variety of mobile devices to access our eduroam connection. In doing this I've had to grapple with user-interfaces designed by people with very odd mindsets. I've used Apple OS's for ages so I'm very spoilt and only have to occasionally dip into the gui-from-hell which I run within Parallels on my mac - but mobile device interfaces are a whole new dysfunctional world. Nokia seem to be the simplest and you can use a free Windows-based utility to save some elements of a configuration and import it into another device but to set up 802.1x on a Sony-Ericson appears to be impossible whilst for Windows mobile 5 you need a lot of luck or a brain the size of a small planet.
