Rodent Regatta

I have this (ill-informed) sense that dealing with email and browsing the Internet on a cell phone or PDA is reminscent of accessing the first web pages over a 2400 baud modem. I use a Treo 300 with Sprint, but I’ve never tried to use its browsing or email capabilities. It’s used strictly to prevent me from carrying a phone and a PDA.

Having done no research at all, I have no idea how the 287 spam messages I get per day would be handled by the Treo. How do I make sure the handheld gives me only the messages I want? Must I have yet another email account to maintain?

Your information maven provides an example of how the users of Sprint’s service are NOT seeing the web these days. I want the functionality, but I’m finicky about the performance. In this area, I’m not an early adopter. I want it to really perform – reliably, fast and free of hassle.

Oh, and if you haven’t see her Radio-based weblog design from Bryan Bell, that alone is worth the visit!
