Re: T-Mobile and Nokia 3650 confusions
I took out the crossposts since these are mostly t-mobile questions and
answered as many questions as I thought I had some clue about.

you can pull your pop email on tzones (meaning through the website using the
wap browser) for 4.99. If you want to access exchange email using the wap
browser, you need the 9.99 plan.
you can access wap (non tzones sites) for free right now under the "free
wap" option. Others have also been able to use pop email with the built in
email client with the free wap service. However, under free wap or
tzones/tzones pro, you can't use any internet clients that don't use port 80
(some instant messaging clients, https).

xhtml isn't html. The browser is only designed for wap sites and sites done
in xhtml. If you want to browse html sites, download the doris browser or
opera for the 3650.

Yes. Try wap.oa.yahoo.com . If you go to google groups and look up "wap
sites" you'll find a ton.

No, at least not for yahoo.

Not to be snide, but read the instruction manual. No characters are showing
up in the box because you haven't moved the cursor into the box. It is
very possible to do.

Yes. Google "3650 and ir and laptop and t-mobile" and you should find
detailed instructions. Otherwise, go to howardforums.com and search the
same.

Yes. But the only benefit of the 19.95 plan is what I described, above, re
port 80.
