Sounds good. I have been using Google (www.google.com) and Google SMS (US shortcode 46645). This seems just as fast. Be sure to put the "period" between "mobile" and "answers" or you get an unrelated Spanish site. :oops:

Good tip. :-)

I found the definitions to be quite good. Infact when your try "smartphone". You get this A cellphone platform from Microsoft that plays multimedia files and integrates with Outlook to retrieve wireless e-mails. Starting in 2003, Motorola and Samsung were the first cellphone makers to offer phones with the Microsoft technology. The Smartphone is part of the Windows Mobile platform, which provides versions of Windows for cellphones and Pocket PC PDAs. See smart phone and Pocket PC.

I like the fact it is Microsoft centric. ;-) Very few people know the difference between "Smartphone" and "smart phone" or "smartphone".
