Clearnet

Get a cable for your cell phone and use Clearnet's data services. That is my wireless solution right now.

Well I am using the Samsung 8500 phone with a direct connect cable from thesupplynet (www.thesupplynet.com). I have a package with clearnet that gives me 250 minutes per month (talk time). This talk time can also be used for data (ie connect Visor to Phone to Net) with their $5 Data Service aka PCS online or something like that. You can learn more about it here: http://temp.telusmobility.com/on/ww...pcsonline.shtml

Note that they mention something about a Wireless Modem kit for $69.99. You DO NOT need this package unless you have a laptop. All you need is the cable from Thesupplynet.com., a telus mobility phone with service and the $5 data services add-on.

Everything

You can do everything you do now with your regular ISP. BUT keep in mind that the connections i very slow (14 kbps). I was able to surf and use ICQ. You can get other Palm OS applications to do the things you want to do.
