Its dual-mode, text message- and internet-capable. For example, I can lookup telephone numbers on a directory service, and get turn-by-turn directions from anywhere to that address. Better still, the cellphone has its own e-mail address, and can display text e-mail messages. So it becomes trivially easy to write operations jobstreams that will alert me, day or night, if they need attention, by firing off an e-mail message to my phone. Is this going to put a whole industry of monitoring/paging/event alert vendors out of business? Best of all, the unit cost me $70 (Canadian!) after rebates ($50 call voucher and $30 cash-back rebate), and is pay-as-you-go, so I pay only for usage.. /Hans -- __________________________________________ Hans Hendriks Technical Support Robelle Solutions Technology Inc (888) 762-3553 http://www.robelle.com mailto:[log in to unmask]
