Can anyone go to the following site:

http://mobile.msn.com

You have to try and go to it using ur WAP browser on ur cellphone. It says u cen check ur hotmail email from there and access msn messenger. I don't have a WAP cellphone but if it works I would definitely get one. I'm not sure if mobile msn is available in NZ.

Also does anyone know when Vodafone users will be able to PXT telecom users cuz currently you can't?

I heard telecom and vodafone and CURRENTLY working on it, but its been about 2 months now and still nothing

Yes - you can get your Hotmail and use MSN messanger on a Telecom 027 phone. Not sure about Voda.

There is also MSN Calendar, MSN Money, ESPN, etc

Tried it on my Nokia 6010 and it brings it up but it's really big and it looks like the original webpage instead of the subtitles like normally and it's really slow to navigate

Yeah, hotmail works on my mobile on vodafone (waste of money though, 10c per kb, costs me 20c just to connect to WAP) but I can't get MSN messenger to work. It would cost a bomb anyway. The problem with mobile communications with New Zealand is the lack of population up to date with mobile technology and actually using it. Vodafone has a sort of corportate goal to keep international and be in line with the rest of vodafone international with the technology so every change it does to push mobile technology forward in New Zealand is going to cost everyone a whole ton because they have to recover their costs and not many people will be using them. I mean, text still cost 20c each and in terms of file size and network usage, I'm sure it doesn't take all that much. Mobile rates everywhere else in the world are so cheap. Ok, that's enough complaining from me tonight.

I use my TT3 palm, tethered to my GSM cellphone by bluetooth.

On the palm i run verichat, which gives me msn + icq (no jabber)

yeah, the traffic costs build up, but if you need to have a long running conversation while mobile, it's cheaper than 20c per sms. (and i'm partially deaf so phone calls aint my favourite thing)

it's cheaper again to just get a low end 027 phone (maybe second hand), and do $10 txt on prepay.
