I lost that one. I'll send you a doc I wrote for how to use the EasyGPRS over IrDA. Pet your request? I lost that one.

I turned on the IrDA and was able to get my laptop to recognize the modem, but I have yet to successfully dial-in using the cell phone as a modem (which would be pimp). I already spent the time entering in all the numbers manually, but it'll be good to get a backup (I'll do it next time I see you). How do I use GPRS? And please don't ask me to pet your request.

I'll try and get you some data cables, etc. Also great is using EasyGPRS and GPRSWizard to synchronize contacts and use the Internet from your laptop when there isn't a connection.

Still, moving to T-Mobile was worth it (see my latest post) You’re the second person since yesterday to tell me their Sprint phone could successfully text message, so I guess it was the phone’s fault.

Text messaging is now native and as easy, if not easier than voicemail. The UI changed mostly for the better, but there are lots of quirks and sorting the address book by number isnt as easy as it once was. Whatever, I'm waiting for a Smartphone 2003 device with a decent data plan (see comment above on address book syncing).
