Well, hold on here: the 7650 is a phone. The original argument was about
whether PDAs that are not telephones as well (Palm, Zarus, WinCE) would
private a better mail and web experience when using a wireless data or
GPRS card. None of those, to the best of my knowledge, are practical
to use in "always connected" mode to alert you about e-mail or SMS the
instant they're available; the battery drains far too fast.
