Yes and no.  POSE can be used for all but final testing of PQA's for the VII
now and although I have toyed with the VII pseudo-heavily in the last three
weeks I've just now cracked the halfway point of 150K.  And, a good deal of
that was the few days I toyed with routing some of my e-mail to the palm.net
address :)  I think for casual use (and heavy use of POSE) the 50K plan will
suite most's needs and heavy usage will be ok under 150K.

Ok.  That's the rosy picture.  Time for a reality check.  If you use any of
the News/Info PQA's frequently, reading a good bit of the stories there,
you'll chew through your K like a hot knife through butter.  :(  You'll
quickly learn which PQA's chew up the K and normally avoid using them.  I
like the news, but I only click past the headline stage if a story *REALLY*
looks interesting.  If you want to read news on a Palm, you should sync it
there via the desktop before leaving the house.  Nifty as these PQA's are,
they really don't belong on the device with the current rate structure, IMO.

But, for regular stock checks, weather reports, and *sending* the occasional
e-mail, the plans provided are just ducky.

My $.02  Take it FWIW
