What phone do you have? I like mine, but the net is not as user friend;y as I'd like. Windows mobile 6.0

You can download something for your blackberry called opera mini that makes the net look like it does on a computer. I dont know much about it, but Tyler_Mc has it.

How do you get the Q to work with our forums? I have tried and the screen is so crazy large that it sucks to try and make it work.

Mine works perfect of the forum except I can't see the pictures. I have it set for "One Column" under "View" in Mobile 6. Now it is tethered to laptop to make typing easier.

Ok, this may sound stupid, but what are these tethers that you all are talking about?

my itouch gets on just fine.....no internet contract...only catch is you have to have access to the free wifi in the area....

it is super easy and fast to use...

Yeah, I've got the itouch and I like it so much I'll probably buy the iphone when the time comes. The safari web browser is awesome.

I like the idea of the itouch, butt hate itunes and carrying two devices around. iphone is way too fancy for me

It jsut means to hook your cellphone up to your laptop using a USB cable. This way, your laptop uses your cellphone as a wireless modem. On my 8525 with window mobile 6, i go to programs>internet sharing>connect. Then, I fire up internet explorer on my laptop and whalla!

I also installed a wifirouter program on my phone that eliminates the tether and turns my cellphone into a wifi hotspot.

I will remember that. Currently at home I am getting 2-3 open connections with my laptop, so I never bother learning how to use my phone.
