If so, any opinions?
Looking at the Vodafone version as a way to send and receive emails on the move - believe it's GPRS - does this make them expensive to run?

Company i work ofr uses them, but only on a trial basis at the moment, using T-mobile ones, apparently at the moment the calls are expensive but i am not sure why that is !
The people that use them dont seem to complain though, they are a bit chunky !
Sorry couldnt be more help !

We had a few on test in ur Brighton office. They worked fine and linked directly into Exchange.
They were for our Sales team, but they didn't like the design of them and since they only handle e-mail, they didn't want to carry them around and a mobile phone.
Do you pay for calls?? I was under the impression that we payed a monthly subscription and no call charges (since it doesn't dial anything).
If you want instant access to e-mail on the move, they are great. I didn't like the design - it's very chunky and B/W only. Has no voice capability, so didn't suit what we really wanted.
