I would like a phone that I can use to connect to wireless internet whe
I am at home and at school, just like My friend who has the iphone an
can use safari. My main priority is being able to check my email
whenever there is a unprotected wireless connection available.

I have no need for the internet proper, neither do I need a camera, bu
both would be nice. Maybe a email client also.

I would also like a qwerty keyboard, which should be a usable size bu
preferably small enough for my pocket. (unlike blackberries)

I have looked on ebay and they are very cheap, but I want to make sur
I want the right one, and also I am worried that the internet won'
work unless I have credit on it.

Thank you very very much

I just bought the Verizon XV6800 recently and I have been very happy
with it. There is some add-on software you can get(SPB Shell) that
will let the touch screen do a lot of the things that the iPhone can
do. With a registry editor you can perform some hacks to the system
that do not require replacing the ROM.

Unlimited web via the cell network is just over $40/month or you can
pay airtime charges. It has bluetooth and wifi. Excel is much more
functional and viewable than on a Blackberry. In fact, my company
provides me with a Blackberry. I had used pocket PCs before the BB
and I was very disappointed when the BB arrived. My PDA had broken
prior to that so I waited for the BB. I couldn't justify the expense
of carrying a BB, cell phone and a PDA, but when it came time to
upgrade the cell, I went with the XV6800. I am back in heaven and
heaven is even better than before.

For info on what can be done with this phone, google xv6800 help.

My co-worker bought the Voyager and he cannot run Google Maps on his.
Google Maps with traffic loads quickly on the XV6800. If you are in
an area that has the traffic it can help you avoid the(major roads
only) traffic jams ahead.
