I will also explore getting a dumb phone and buying a PDA. Savings appear
to be around $800: $100 (or more) for the phone, and $700 that doesn't need

WiFi: between $200 and $300.

I've been doing that for several years now. I have a Dell Axim that I can
dialup via bluetooth on my V9M whenever I'm not near a WiFi access point.


If I recall, that still entails a data charge, correct?

No, I'm on ACII which just uses minutes. I also have Mobile Web which
probably disguises my web access as well.
