Any reviews on this? Cheap phone and "internet". Large screen.
All I want is a phone with internet to cut costs on normal PC internet.

No 3g/hsdpa so not that great for surfing.

BTW internet will probably cost more on your phone.

OK. K@k phone. Internet is far, far, far cheaper on a cellphone than a PC.

It's an OK phone, if you don't mind edge internet it's a good phone.

I have sold a few of them. what is nice is the widgets it uses to interface with google and facebook and other sites.

Makes uploading content a breeze.

All I need it for is Facebook and Yahoo email.

What do you mean?
For the same amount of data adsl works out cheaper than gprs/3g/hsdpa.

I can surf the web for 3 hrs and only use one or two MB's on my cell. Try this on your computer. 20+ MB's for the same sites.

Yeah but inst that the mobile versions of the sites? I also think opera mini compresses sites somehow, you can use opera mini on your pc if you want: http://lawand.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/opera-mini-for-windows/

Also there is a firefox add-on called User Agent Switcher witch can fool some web sites into giving you the mobile version...

How about battery life? My J750 was horrible with that.
Where i am there is only edge and will probably stay that way for many years, so its not going to make much difference.
