RE: Cel Phones (was COMMON at Gaylord Palm, Orlando)

Carl -

I, too, have the Treo 300 and can't wait for the 600.  For others on the
list, http://www.handspring.com/treo600/index.jhtml provides some
details on the upcoming phone's capabilities.  I'm lucky that my company
pays for my mobile phone and cable internet at home (I telecommute on
occasion).  My boss has already agreed to let me trade up to the 600
when it's released (he wants one, too).  Do you use BizConn or some
other email like Eudora?

Does anyone here use the iSeriess Access for Mobile/Wireless to do
systems management from their phone?

- John

Hi John, I have unlimited data with my SprintPCS vision card and it is
$80/month.  While that may seem like a lot, I was able to drop my
$20/month ISP account so my effective cost is $60/month.  I use it a lot
when I am on the road( a lot), so for me it is worth every penny.  YMMV.
I also have a Treo300 (cant wait for the Treo600 to come out), and use
it to access my AS400s and email when the laptop is not really needed.
I havent worried about hotels and their comm charges in several years.
They are obviously trying to recoop charges they have lost to cell
phones and calling cards.  When LD routinely cost .03-.05/min, their
charges are robbery.
