Thanks for clarifying (Whewww.. I feel better now Smilie )

For me, I don't have "religion" about phones and computers. I easily use the Internet from my (old but trusty) Nokia E61 and I can call and talk to friends using Skype at my desk.

I read news, check server status, read email, use GoogleMaps and set GPS waypoints, downloading new maps from the Internet. I sometimes reply to forum messages, especially admin messages, using my mobile, I search for prices when shopping using my mobile (recently a golf bag from Ping), and much more.

For me, mobile phone GPRS (in the future 3G) is almost as important as a desktop computer or notebook. When in my favorite riverside restaurant eating I use their free wireless LAN instead of using my GPRS minutes to save money :-)

Soon I will install PuTTY on my mobile so I can ssh into the server and tweak something when on the road...... in other words, for my Internet mobile access is not a luxury, it is critical :-)
