Wireless and smartphones.
If I had a smartphone that had 802.11b/g, would I be able to access the internet/e-mail without charge if I was connected to a wireless network?

In theory, yes. I had a Motorola A1000 I could connect to my desktop PC via bluetooth and access the internet via my home broadband connection.

You say "In theory" does that mean that in practice it is possible that it may not be the case. I am thinking of getting an MDA Pro on T-mobile and would like to use it on my wireless network at home to access the web/e-mail. Do T-mobile block this sort of access, or force it through their systems in some way so you have to pay?

Hmm, good question. They could restrict things, but networks don't usually feel comfortable knee-capping PDAs as customers who wish to have these tend to know what they want/need.
I guess they only way to confirm would be to speak to the retailer before you buy. Sorry! |

No probs. I guess, as you say, I should ask before I buy. But do I trust the sales person to a) know what they're talking about and b) tell the truth?

a) Avoid the Carphone Warehouse and go to a T-Mobile shop
b) Tell them you'll be back within 14 days to cancel if they lie - they'll be sure to check their facts & tell the truth! |
