jochem, for the most part, we/i/my friends, do not use that.... its given to us for free... but most cellphones have SUCKY email use/access capabilities. its more there for show, as a ME TOO kinda option. now, im sure alot do use it.. .just not many that i have seen... what i see a lot of people use it for are notices, like sports games scores updates, etc... but for regular email use... it just doesnt do what our outlook can do. she prolly has a lot of those because of people using that sidekick, along with her have those addresses, and im sure those things are fairly good for email capabilities... now, one thing i know for sure, TMOBILE is pretty sucky as a network.
