RE: OTish: WAP Phones...

[Jennifer Lowe <jenni@xxxxxxx>]

I have the Motorola V2288, the one with the built
in radio. As a phone it's not much use, with
awkward to use menus for example. I wanted it for
the WAP capabilities, but after trying to use it,
the content available was a bit pathetic. But a lot
of that may have been down to the providers, MViVA
and Genie.....
I do use the radio though :)
As for the 7110, most of my friends are heading
that way.... and they all seem to love them, and
one of them surfs from his on a regular basis, so he
finds the content useful.
What I now find interesting is the potential to
use it to control the house with ... can someone
point me in the right direction to read up on this
a bit more, I might actually find a use for WAP !!!!
