Cool! Are you using T-Mobile?
BTW: I'm considering another, slightly weird, solution:
- Get a good quad-band (but not PDA) T-Mobile phone, with bluetooth.
- Then get the Nokia 770 as the email/web solution.
- When not in a wifi location, use the phone's bluetooth as a
wireless modem.
- Try a dialup-wifi device as a backup. (I've got a great
worldwide dialup service)
Risky, but maybe the best solution. I found that most of the hotels
in Ireland had WiFi. I think that holds for the rest of Europe too.
Often true in the US.
So the strategy is to simply get a good, reliable T-Mobile phone with
at least the ability to sync the address/phone book. (SIM devices
typically have ways to do that.) Have them unlock and enable
international roaming, giving me the ability to have a local SIM and
my US one. This gives me good phone service with reasonable options.
Then use the Nokia as the email/web device, fine in a wifi
environment. Try to use bluetooth with the phone to allow using it
as a wireless modem .. probably a bit risky/unreliable. At worse,
buy a dialup WiFi device .. there are some.
Just might work!
