Hi Paul, I'm hoping that some one will come up with and idea for this phone. I am locked into a two year contract with verizon and I'm willing to by another phone if that's what I need to do. I spend a lot of time traveling in the car and if I can't use my cell phone to check mail the bn is going to have to be put away and I guess I'll be looking at a laptop or something else... I'll tell you what though it frustrates me that I can't find a simple adaptor for this phone! take care Lisa
