Suppose I had a Blackberry and I wanted to visit the SDMB. What is a reasonable rate I can expect to pay?
Thanks!
(You can do that on Blackberries, can’t you?)
Off to GQ.
Well my office pays for my Blackberry–but I assumed the charge is part of the base fee. I have to pay for my own private phone calls I know, but as far as the internet browsing part I don’t think I pay anything, or they haven’t asked me to separate my personal browsing from work related items.
My email is always updated, etc., so I am assuming it is always connected, but I will admit I am not sure how that aspect really works.
And yes you can visit the SDMB. It is slower (which to some might seem impossible!), but it is doable. I occasionally do come here via the Blackberry. Mainly I use it to find addresses of a business, etc.
Tangentially, reading the Straight Dope on a Sony Playstation Pocket works really well. Sure, you can’t reply - but otherwise it seems that the whole forum experience was designed to be used on it. The high resolution wide screen is a definite factor – no need for scrolling across. This could mark the decline of the paperback as format of choice for my bedtime reading!
The downside is that you need a wireless router in your house - though these seem to be becoming more common.
