Can you go to any URL? Of course some phones can only see wap'ed
sights, but what I'm asking is, does Cingular run a "garden wall"
that lets you access only those services that pay to be included in
Cingular's "virtually any website providing a wealth of resources"
(I think that's how they phrase it).

Ummm...let me rephrase that.
Can you go to any URL? Yes/No
Does Cingular still use a "garden wall" portal? Yes/No
Those two would be mutually exclusive. So if it the answer is
Yes and No, then I could view my personal WAP website on my server.

Couldn't say about Express but on Wireless Internet I can go to any URL
(yes) -- there is no sign of any "garden wall" restrictions (no). I
can't imagine Express being any different.

OK, that's what I wanted to know. Thanks!
I rememeber what AT&T had free access (but you still paid a very high
data usage fee) for sites behind their garden wall, but for like $10
a month, you could have unfetted access beyond.
Since I would only use it on my WAP'ed sites, I don't anticipate it
costing too much, unlike my Sprint Vision which is unlimited. But
considering I can go back to Cingular for almost half of what I'm
paying Sprint, I could use effectively use Cingular's data usage for
the same monthly cost.

You betcha. Data is data is data. I'll bet you've exceeded your meg
already! The 3600 has a GPRS counter- keep a very watchful eye on it!

megabyte? thats insane.

Figure on at least 3 Meg for a simple web site with a couple of
pictures and several pages of text. You can kiss your A+ credit report
gone real quick!.
