Hi you all, from what I know cingular still runs its Mobitex service in the US. The only thing that happened: PalmOne shut down their DNS servers and proxies for whatever reasons. If one could get the proxy somehow, I think that a .net environment could be resurrected-and it would be hell of a competitor for BlackBerry-if managed by a person who-well- doesn't have is head up his ... Just my 2 cents... Tam Hanna
Keep in mind the Mobitex was (is) slow and had a high per-byte data cost and is really only suitable for relatively small text-based e-mail and messaging (ex: traditional Blackberry).
Nowadays you really need to upgrade to at least a Treo 600 (which have dropped in price with introduction of the 650). No proxy required and lots of fast, cheap databytes.
