A whole new web (world)

May 10, 2003

The bad news is that I lost my cell phone somewhere between the Atlanta and Gainesville airports. It was in the shoulder strap of my Targus Laptop Backpack (one of the better purchases that I’ve made, by the way, especially with a Dell Inspiron 7500 which weighs nearly 9 pounds) which I checked plane-side in order to not have to squish it into the overhead bin.

The good news is that I never really liked that phone (Nokia 3360) in the first place, except for the size.

The even better news is that I replaced it with a Treo 300, which is a Palm Pilot and a cell phone all in one, and works with ACT! which I also use.

Sprint has a deal for unlimited wireless web, which of course I could not resist trying out.

It’s pretty cool to be able to send and receive email on the unit itself, plus it has a built in keyboard, so no more trying to deal with Graffiti (yuck).

It does, however, make you hate spam all the more when you are downloading it over a slow connection.

It also makes you realize how poorly most websites do on a small device.

So far I have tried “Blazer” (the web browser that came with it) as well as Eudora.

Anyway, I’m starting Tim’s Wireless Page for good resources that I find for wireless users
