I'd say if I can get Opera Mini AND Skype on it, then Target couldn't keep them in stock ( and the T-Mo lawyers at bay ).]]>Aug 20th 2008 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/
Even if it had a browser I would think it would still be limited to an extent.

I mean continuing from my post below...no wifi...screw that.

TMobile may be good for some people but where I live, it's downright embarrassing.]]>Aug 21st 2008 1:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/
But TMobile will bitch 24/7 about it. And if you only ran on wifi...you might as well call it a skype phone with email. But if your in your house you might as well just check your email there...so sort of defeats the purpose.]]>Aug 21st 2008 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/Aug 20th 2008 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/

My AT&T voice account was $50 a month.

I got an iPhone, and for an extra $20 a month I get unlimited data and as many e-mail accounts configured as I want, plus now I have exchange support. I think it's basically the same for BB/Palm/WinMo.

$20 a month for just e-mail? They should have launched this in 2002. Except RiM be them to it by 5 or 6 years.

I predict total failure within 12 months.]]>Aug 20th 2008 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/Aug 20th 2008 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/peek-the-handheld-that-does-e-mail-and-only-e-mail/
Now all they need to do is add web access, a camera and the ability to play mp3s...

Oh...and voice capability...

and then they would have a....oh wait...I think that's been done already.

It's not a "nice" low cost alternative to the Blackberry or iPhone. Those both do indefinetely more things and cost $30 per month on top of a phone plan.
