I could have used it this weekend...I was in Laughlin, NV, trying to
remember the phone # and address of my sister, 70 miles away in Lake Havasu,
AZ.  I knew the info was accessible to me over the web.  If I'd had
some brands/implementations/plans of web enabled cell phones, I could
have retrieved her address over the web with my phone.  Since I had
Sprint's PCS, I couldn't.  (It can only access WAP pages...unlike some
sevices that can access any HTML pages.)  (Instead, since AT&T Worldnet
doesn't know Laughlin exists, I had to make a $10 long distance call with
a laptop to get the info.)

(Why Laughlin?  That's the closest airport you can get to with a
commericial jet :)
