It was a decent basic article, but didn't really have much to do with wireless Internet access. Everything you talked about regarding the Pocket PC applications applied to wired access or dial-up access.
As for the E-mail client, you said:

I don't know that I'd call the client "excellent". Let's look at some of the deficiencies:
* It doesn't support HTML (except hyperlinks).
* Setting up an account isn't as easy as it could be (and page 1 of the New account setup has truncated text)
* Modifying an existing account is even more difficult (you have to figure out to double-click on an item in the Service tab of the Options dialog, and you can't change the name associated with the account).
* Clicking Send in a new E-mail doesn't actually send the message, but just queues it in the Outbox (the Send button should say Queue if the message won't be sent right away).
* There's no Redirect capability (like forward but without quoting).
* There's no option to view full E-mail headers.
* Sometimes a message will get locked, such that you can't read it or delete it (although I've only had that happen once, and I think it was on my 3650, so it may have been fixed).
