I've heard several peopls say it no longer works for them, so don't count on it. It's not part of an official plan.

Then if you get a nice BT phone, like the T610 (or similar) you can browse WAP sites and do a bunch right from the phone, or connect your 2215 through the phone, using it sort of as a modem and browse using PIE, connect via Messenger, retrieve PoP email, connect into other networks with VPN (or not), etc. It's not blindingly fast, mind you, but it does work, from anywhere you have signal.

Of course you don't need to do this BT. You can find cable solutions between the phone and the PPC, but yeeech.

I have the 2215, the Motorola V710 and Verizon. It just costs minutes to use the phone to connect to the internet. I use bluetooth and it's fast. i love it!!!

I hope you realize the internet speeds on T-Mobile suck. Go with Verizon or Sprint if you want fast browsing.
