New cellphone

I just got a new cell phone. It took a whole lot of research to get what I wanted and I wasn’t sure if what I wanted could be done.

I’m on pay as you go – the cheapest plan imaginable and minutes carry over. I wanted to get internet on the road from my portable pocket pc. The computer has WiFi wireless internet already but you’re never really close to a hotspot when you need the net.

I wanted to connect via Bluetooth wireless to my cell phone and have my cell phone connect to the internet for me because it’s internet capable.

I knew I could get internet on the phone using it’s dumb limiting browser and places to go. The pocket pc uses it’s connection and will let me do whatever I want. I can ICQ, MSN, check my email accounts, browse to any site from my car, work, wherever. I rule. I can do this with a laptop if I wanted.

You can get a monthly cell phone account and subscribe to a $5 or $10 datapack service (internet service) but this is way more economical.
