OK, it may look or seem a little teenage-girlie, but I finally gave in to needs and got myself a
T-mobile Sidekick. 2 network admins we contract from time to time had them, and since I first saw them checking their email on it, I knew I *needed* one. I picked mine up over the web from
OnTheGo. The email function is straight forward enough, easy to use and it can snag a few POP accounts if you want it to. One of my biggest contract gigs relies on AOL IM to communicate, so that feature works great for me too. The best part is the browser. Quick and easy instant internet access almost anywhere. The T-Mobile service I get is *way* better than my Cingular phone. The browser doesn't support java script, but 90% of the pages I visit have a nonjs version of their site, detect my inability to process js, and redirect me to the appropriate page. The only major snafu I ran into is I cannot get into my blog's admin, it has js data validation that I cannot get around. (If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it). The browser supports cookies, so if I can fake it out once, I will be in for good. If anyone has one and knows of good / bad / ugly tips / websites / info, please let me know.
