Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] blackberry

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I have a Sanyo 4500 Dual band phone on the Sprint PCS network and I use it
for email/web browsing more than phone calls. You can use their email,
your own email, instant messaging (AOL by default), web browse, etc. It
cost me $55 for the phone and is about $40/month.

You'd think typing email on a 10-digit keypad would be hard but they use a
mapping of numbers to words so that if you type a word from a dictionary
or a word you've used before then you can just hit each key once and the
word will pop up.. no nasty 4-4, 3-3, 5-5-5, 5-5-5, 6-6-6 type crap. For
an example you can go to my projects page and download my wordlist program
as I reverse engineered it for use in opensource projects.
